Desert island discs

[Cynical Ninja]

My brain is going to stay healthy, so I can remember the photos, peoples and places that I've already seen in life. In the context of being stranded on a desert island, having a coffee table picture book, of any variety, therefore wouldn't mean much, to me.

I'll be busy focusing on what I'm seeing in my new and foreign environment (home); capturing it in my memory bank. I'm looking forward, not backward.

Those two paragraphs are totally at odds with each other, the first one says you want to keep your brain healthy to remember the past the next one says you are concentrating on looking forward not backward. So which is it?

Will reading a dictionary exercise your brain and keep it healthy? debatable. It might broaden your vocabulary which is pointless because you've got no one to talk to anyway.

I never heard an inventor or thinker saying the secret to their success was regularly reading a dictionary! I wonder why? Probably because sitting reading a dictionary is retarded.
