Don't tell me wife that I used her new immersion blender she got for Christmas to make a brain smoothie. Don't worry I didn't drink it. Brain tanning is a process used by native Americans and many other ethnic groups across the world to turn animal hide into a useable fabric. I am curious who first thought of using brains, but it works. I am not sure of the exact chemical process, but apparently brains have oils in them that penetrates the fibers of the skin allowing them to be worked apart to produce a soft flexible leather. Worked is the key word. The indigenous populations did not have cardio machines because they made buckskin. There is no rowing machine out there that works as many muscles as this. I even got my mother -in-law in for a few reps. The hide has to be worked continually as it dries, but the work is worth it. The last step will be to smoke the hide.

I think you might be on to something with brain tanning cardio. Ha!
