Peter arrived just before the class began. He entered the double wood doors entering the great lecture hall. There were six rows, each row elevated above the row below. The chairs formed a semi-circle around the desk of the professor, and behind the desk was a roll-chalk board.
Peter sat in the seat three rows down, on the right end of the center aisle. He placed his books under his seat when he noticed Felicia Hardy enter the room. Her presence lit up the room like nothing Peter had ever seen. He was amazed that she was into the Nuclear physics.
The professor who stood in front of his desk interrupted his thoughts. He had a lapel microphone connected to his jacket collar. "Okay, if everyone can take their seats." All the students obeyed their professor. When the last one was sitting, he nodded at the students. "Today we have a guest lecturer. He is nuclear physicist, and a former atomic-research consultant. He is currently researching and specializing in telepathy. May I introduce to you Dr. Otto Octavius!"
A chunky sized man entered from the side door and stood in front of his desk. His brown hair covered his round head well, and his black eyeglasses almost made him look like an overweight Jerry Lewis from the Nutty Professor. He spoke in his heavy German accent. "Thank you Professor. I was invited here today to talk to you a little about what I do. As you have just heard, I have recently took on a project of researching a little about telepathy. Now, it is common knowledge in and outside of all science that the average human uses about ten percent of their brains. I want you all to use your imaginations. What would happen if the average human used all one hundred percent of their brains? Can anyone give me some possibilities?"
Many hands were raised. Dr. Octavius pointed at one of them. The student that was chosen stood up. "Well, I know I would get perfect grades in all my classes!"
All the students laughed and even Dr. Octavius had a chuckle. "Very true. You would have extreme intelligence that surpasses everyone else. What else? How about you?" Dr. Octavius pointed to Peter.
"Psychic abilities?" Peter Volunteered.
There were many mocking laughs pointed towards Peter, but Dr. Octavius raised up his hands to silence the laughs. "Believe it or not, that is an excellent answers. Most scientists believe that you would develop psychic abilities; not in the way of reading people's mind, but in moving things with just the simple thought.
"Yes, having full access of one's brain would increase our intelligence and give us ability to move inanimate objects with the simple mind, but it would do more than just that. It would be like having two brains, each one focusing on something totally different.
"Let me put it this way, if you had four hands, instead of two, one pair of hands can be used changing the oil in your car while you use your other two hands were fixing a computer. Now imagine having six or eight hands, like an octopus! Having a hundred percent usage of your brain will allow you to be able to concentrate on eight different things at the same time!"
