Being stuck in the same routine can be exhausting. I needed something new to excite me. Let my brain take a detour, enjoy the scenery a little bit before going back on the highway doing its (coding) thing again. While parousing Programming & Dev Community I came across 
To my brain: meet the brian!
In his posting
He asked if anyone can name all the brians. Well, heck of a chance. Or is it?
Two names immediately stood out to me. First of all Brian Johnson of course, second came Brian May. Both being musicians. One other Brian looked familiar and it took me a day to make the connection. Brian Cox is a physicist. I made the connection via Matt Parker and the TV show QI, both of which I followed over the years. After naming three of them I thought that was a good quota but the challenge was to name them all.
Three more kind of looked familiar but I could not make any connection until (noone tell me ever again there is no such thing as coincidence) I went for some "old" music playlist for doing the chores yesterday. Music has this fascinating ability to trigger long hidden memories. I recognised Brian Wilson from a Music Documentary. Yes, I'm a geek, I not only listen to music but am interested in how it is made and who made it.
Four out of seven, three more to go.
I was a little bit ashamed I didn'T recognize Brian Eno right away. But in my defense, he looked very different in that young age.
Brian Cox somehow eluded me until I made the movie connection. Like the picture of Brian Eno it looked like a still from a movie so I went down that road in my research. Yeah, should have recognized him from X-Men 2.
One more to go and I was clueless. Yes, I turned to google image search. Don't know if that is allowed for this "contest"? But the result confirmed my suspicion: I had no chance of knowing Brian Cant.
Anyways, there you have it:
- Brian Cox
- Brian May
- Brian Eno
- Brian Cox
- Brian Wilson
- Brian Cant
- Brian Johnson
I asked deepai.org Character Generator for "brian" and it gives me the header images you see above. Interesting similar features. Since I also have such a beard and even wear glasses like the last guy I wonder if I am a Brian myself. Who knows? 😉
Just to be on the save side and to find out if I ever triggered
Well, that's it for today. Thanks for reading, maybe you even enjoyed this detour of my brain a little bit. For me it's back into the action of daily routine and preparing for christmas.
Happy Holidays everyone.
