rmp2000v21 Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 This is a little puzzling, its based on a thing i read in a book the other day. If you think about it, you don't have a head. what see in the mirror and what other people see is light reflections, and what you can feel as your head are merely sensory stimuli. So, how can you prove that you do actually have a head?
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 But that is sensory stimulation. The only way to prove it is to measure it's displacement, then you will see there is SOMETHING there.
LuTze Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Chop it off with a large knife, and give it someone else to look at. Or that cannibal guy in Germany. He can tell you what it tastes like.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 I think you couldn't give it to him. You'd be dead. Yes, this is a stupid thread.
rmp2000v21 Posted February 1, 2004 Author Posted February 1, 2004 Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. Euripides (484 BC - 406 BC), The Bacchae, circa 407 B.C.
Sayonara Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 I'm sure Euripides did not intend to suggest that anyone who calls someone a fool, is foolish.

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Now, now, let's not gross out the little children. Be civil!
-Demosthenes- Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 We took blood in Biology once, I almost passed out.
-Demosthenes- Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Someone told me that if you didn't go into shock when your head got cut off, then you could live a couple of hours. I don't see how, without a brainstem??
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Took blood? You mean in another animal, or you?
-Demosthenes- Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 We pricked our fingers to test our blood type. I am kinda...not good with that kind of stuff. So I conveniently lost my permision slip and never got to do it, Darn! But I was in the room, and I really didn't feel good!

That was tested, but of course, there is nothing to tell your lungs to breathe or your heart to beat, so you die. -Demosthenes- said in post #18 :We pricked our fingers to test our blood type. I am kinda...not good with that kind of stuff. So I conveniently lost my permision slip and never got to do it, Darn! But I was in the room, and I really didn't feel good! If you had a more serious injury, would you look at it and just pass out?
-Demosthenes- Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Probably. If there was like a bone sticking out, then I would be on the floor.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 And, probably, cause more serious damage to yourself, like bashing your head in.
-Demosthenes- Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Yeah, just thinking about it makes me a little woosy.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 I wouldn't like to see it myself, too!
-Demosthenes- Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Bones aren't meant to be seen. I always pull topics o/t.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 They really aren't meant to be seen, unless you are idssecting something. Even then, that's not what they are meant for. This thread was stupid anyway, who cares?
