Re: Az'gard Physiology

This is a splinter thread, the topic is whether the az'gard have multi chambered brains. IMHO if the az'gard were going to GM themselves i think they would have given themselves multi-chambered brains, that would make them much better at advanced mathematics and also increase the ability to learn. The physical evidence i have to support this is that Thor has a cranial ridge which if u follow it, leads into two partially separated lobes.
OK, back to topic...
I don't think there's any way to know if they have multi-chambered brains. Some thoughts come to mind by Anubis's idea:
1) Is multi-chamber better than, say... single-, or dual-chamber?
It's like comparing the old Amiga Computers (4 sub processors make up total processor) to the present day classic Intel design (single mamma processor). Which is better? You can probably make arguments for either based on specific functions.
2) Is it even possible to alter your own genetic makup that much?
I mean, we're assuming that having the ability to do genetic stuff, like cloning and growing body parts, etc. translates into being able to re-make oneself. It seems a bit far fetched. It's like the Asgaard say "hey, lets make a whole new body, then transfer our consciousness into it." They'd have to make that decision by throwing out the door all their previous success in their current form... all based on an idea they have of what they should become?
3) Maybe they never modified themselves... maybe they just started off with multi-chambered brains.
Who knows? This will never leave the pure speculation stage.
