I'll be ignoring them, too. But how exactly does one "ignore furiously"?

399853 2005-10-31 02:56:00 Not quite Jen.

The French guillotine had the same effect when someone's head was cut off. Actually my (admittedly small) bit of research shows Jen may be more right than you think. After being shot through the heart multiple times by a firing squad nobody's been recorded as having any conscious ability to perform any muscular movement. Unlike the decapitated head which can apparently interact briefly independently of the rest of the body and heart, when detached.

It would seem that when the heart suffers abrupt mortal damage it sends a message to the brain that it [the brain] can no longer be supported, and it shuts down within a few micro-seconds. On the other hand when the brain has been seperated from the heart, it [the brain] isn't aware that the heart's dead or not, and so lives on until lack of blood and oxygen cause it to die.

Ergo I'd rather be executed by firing squad than by guillotine! :thumbs:

I guess ignore but let the dogs do their bit.

399855 2005-10-31 06:40:00 I have an idea, dress up as a Bhuddist monk and start preaching the ways of the Bhudda. Dress the front door with incense and chinese candles before they arrive.
And tell them how theres no need for candy or worshipping or violence. And to try and convert them.
Now to shave my head... :lol:

399856 2005-10-31 06:50:00 Thats all good for scaring away the kids, but what if everyone in your neighbourhood starts thinking you really are a Bhuddist? Greven (91)
