No good can come of that.

Wasn't Michaelangelo around long before people realized exactly how important the brain was? Much more credence was given to other internal organs for the longest time...

The first Greek to put forward the idea that the brain was the center of consciousness (as opposed to the heart) was in the 5th centruy BCE. It was controversial but the Greeks and Romans eventually pretty much settled on brain over heart.

I don't recall how much the Medieval period lost that knowledge but I imagine any intellectual familiar with classical thought and philosophy was aware of it.

McNuggetini

Calling that a martini is like calling a McNugget chicken.

What a criminal waste of good vodka.

Vodka, chocolate shake, barbecue sauce and a mcnugget? Yeah, won't be trying that any time soon.

Even separately... only the vodka and the shake get any chance. Then again, that part of it might be ok.

If it were a chocolate shake with vodka, with a couple fries for garnish, I'd totally go for that (no BBQ sauce though). For some reason, McD's fries taste really yummy dipped in their chocolate shakes. It's beyond wrong, but tastes so right.
