See my answer below. Only 10% is used in *conscious* thought--the rest, the 90% that is doing things we don't have conscious control over or knowledge of, continues to work in them. It's the TEN PERCENT they don't use!;)
Evolution does not allow an organ that uses 25% of the daily calories to remain 90% functionless. That kind of caloric expenditure for nothing is simply too expensive to maintain. If the organ is maintained, it is all functional--and likely multiply functional.
Only a small percentage of the brain is used for *conscious* thought--and in too many, I would have to say THAT portion is often vestigial! ;)

Yep. Some people just act like they're only using 10%. :-)
we use it all, if we didn't, evolution would "kick" those parts...

Appendices serve a function.
My tailbone is broken, but I don't know why.
