They X-rayed His Brain, and Found Nothing

No, really. It's not the old joke.

There's a guy in France, 44, married, father of two, works as a civil servant, who has practically no brain but lives a normal life.

We'll pause while you make your own joke: "And his name is [insert boss's name]."

The man in question was complaining of weakness in his leg. Docs took his history, learned he had had a shunt in his brain as a child to drain off water on the brain. It was removed at age 14.

So they took a CT scan and an MRI, and found that almost his entire skull was filled with fluid, not brains.

There was just a thin sheet of actual brain tissue.

The guy's IQ is 75, well below average but not considered retarded.
