There’s an SCP where a bunch of guys managed to use 100% of their brains- and most of them promptly died when their automatic functions shut off. The last guy managed to survive through sheer force of will before they found him and hooked him up to life support, but he’s still basically catatonic due to having to manage stuff like stomach digestion and what not

There’s a Discworld book where Death gets forcibly retired just before he’s meant to collect an old wizard, who then shocks his colleagues by turning up the day after his wake* and greeting them at breakfast with the words ‘does anyone know what a spleen does?’

*As wizards know when they’re going to die, or at least get enough advance warning to take out some large loans and empty their wine cellars, their wakes tend to take place building up to the event in question.
