+When I was a kid growing up in Far Rockaway, I had a friend named Bernie Walker.
+
+We both had "labs" at home, and we would do various "experiments".
+
+One time, we were discussing something - we must have been 11 or 12 at the time -
+and I said, "But thinking is nothing but talking to yourself inside."
+
+"Oh yeah?" Bernie said. "Do you know the crazy shape of the crankshaft in a car?”
+
+"Yeah, what of it?"
+
+"Good. Now tell me: how did you describe it when you were talking to yourself?"
+So I learned from Bernie that thoughts can be visual as well as verbal.
