I knew about Phineas Gage but I didn't know about each generation "reviving the myth".  That part seems weird to me.

My IQ is clearly too low to even begin to understand what the link is getting at

If you add the beard to that guy and put an AMT bounty Miner in his arm instead of the pole it might resemble the PG we have on this site https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO-EGJhdx4U
The guy in that story was he mumbling something about a Josh and a bounty?

hmmm maybe Not

So, that's Phinnaeus Gage? As in, the guy that is always bringing up goats, for some reason?  

EDIT: if the reason has anything to do with the "Goat Simulator" however, I fully understand.

We actually have a lot of Phineas Gage members on this forum (people who only have 1/2 a brain).  But for historical sake I thought I would bring up the "real" Phineas Gage and the story behind the legend.

Proof some of our members have half a brain!  Thanks b!z for helping the lost soul.
