I'm surprised you didn't know that the whole "10% of your brain" thing was a myth.
A very well known myth at that. :p

Yeah I read about that so I decided to post this. Also, it was only suggested by one neurologist, so he could be wrong, and there's also no way to prove that we only use 10% or that we use 100%. Quite fascinating to think about if you ask me.

I'm sure the wiki article references this also but if we only used 10% of our brain, the process of natural selection would remove the other parts in the pursuit of efficiency (the brain uses a large chunk of your bodily resources).
