Article: Juggling makes your brain larger
Juggling leads to changes in brain.
"It's a great party trick and useful for circus performers but scientists said Wednesday that learning to juggle can cause changes in areas of the adult brain. Mastering the skill increases the amount of gray matter in areas of the brain that process and store visual information, proving what was not thought possible -- that new stimuli can alter the brain's structure." |

Cool. I bet unicycling does the same thing.

Of course, when you get good at juggling the balls don't hit you in the head as often, so ibuprofin is enough to take down the swelling.
