[For anybody that didn't know.]

The human brain is wired up back-to-front and upside-down. The left side 
of your brain receives sensory input from the left side of your body, 
yet *controls* the right side of your body. (Something to do with this 
being optimal for fast reactions when adjusting your balance or 
something.) Similarly, your visual cortex is at the *back* of your brain 
- as far away as possible from your eyeballs. Go figure... [This is, 
apparently, why being hit over the head with a baseball bat makes you 
see stars.]
