Five topics in five minutes.

I asked my roommate to give me five topics in five minutes.

1. Cerebral Cortex
is a structure within the brain with distinct structural and functional properties. In non-living, preserved brains, the outermost layer of the cerebrum has a gray color, hence the name gray matter.


2. Dynamite
is usually sold in the form of a stick 20 centimetres (roughly 8 in) long and 2.5 centimetres (1 in) in diameter, but other sizes also exist. Dynamite is considered a high explosive, which means it detonates rather than deflagrates.


3. Chili Cheese Dog
Easy chili dogs are made with canned chili, Cheddar cheese soup, onion, hot dogs, and crushed corn chips.

This one is not from Wikipedia.


4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
and officially known in the United Kingdom as Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles) are a fictional team of four anthropomorphic turtle mutants, who are trained by their sensei, Master Splinter, to become skilled Ninja warriors. From their home in the sewers of Manhattan, they battle petty criminals, evil megalomaniacs, and alien invaders, all while remaining isolated from society at large.


5. Dolly Parton.
(also known as The Iron Butterfly) is known for her distinctive mountain soprano, her curvaceous figure and sometimes bawdy humor, as well as her flamboyant dress sense.

Her family was, as she described them, "dirt poor", and lived in a rustic, dilapidated one-room cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains, in Locust Ridge, Tennessee. She once told an interviewer that her grandfather was a Pentecostal "holy roller" preacher.


What these five things say about my roommate's brain are open to interpretation. I was tempted to tell the story of improper fractions (bigger on the top than the bottom) which were referred to as "Dolly Parton" fractions in a middle school math class, but refrained from the extended trip down memory lane.
