12:09:43 <Nothing\> YEESH
12:09:43 <Nothing\> i just looked it up, and there are only 17 medical schools in ALL of canada.
12:09:43 <rust_collector> as you have 13 full size cities, I woudl thay that is pretty good
12:09:43 <Nothing\> huh
12:09:43 <Nothing\> i think i just discovered a literal long lost cousin on facebook
12:09:43 <steve30> i think i'll try and do some food
12:09:43 <rust_collector> PIE!
12:09:43 <Nothing\> last i heard about him was when i was a child, he was working in a meat plant and an automated machine impaled him through the back of the skull and out his cheek with a meat hook and proceeded to carry him around the factory until somebody shut down the machine
12:09:43 <steve30> lol
12:09:43 <Nothing\> as far as i know he made a full recovery. But I was never well informed about much if at all about what happened on that side of the family
12:09:43 <rust_collector> how many laps did they let him have?
12:09:43 <Nothing\> lol i have no idea but i always imagined it was a few
12:09:43 <Nothing\> and thinking about it in more detail now as an adult, i'll bet they had a hell of a time cleaning out the wound. Trying to debride a literal hole in your brain that was made with a hook covered in raw meat
12:09:43 <steve30> sounds ouchy, once you stop laughing :)
12:09:43 <Nothing\> and depending on the situations, he may have been exposed to prions
12:09:43 <Nothing\> steve30, yeah i don't remember hearing anything else about it other than that. It musta been over 25 years ago.
12:09:43 <Nothing\> so yeah, enough time's passed :)
12:09:43 <Nothing\> steve30, then again, you actually don't have any pain sensing neurons in your brain. Which is why they're able to do brain surgery on people who are awake. So long as the scalp and other tissues are anesthetized
12:09:43 <steve30> cool
12:09:43 <jaymax> So Nothing\ ... does this mean if you make a bad joke about it, you're now off the hook?
12:09:43 <rust_collector> I still vote for pie. almost only because I can not get one
12:09:43 <Nothing\> i know your brain has 3 layers surrounding it, which i'm almost certain one of them contains pain nerves because i know the mechanism for some of the most common headaches is the blood vessels dilate, and puts pressure on the layer(s) surrounding the brain, which results in pain.
12:09:43 <jaymax> Or me, for that matter?
12:09:43 <Nothing\> jaymax, heh that was a clever one
12:09:43 <Nothing\> off the hook
12:09:43 <Nothing\> it's really interesting actually reading about neuroanatomy and physiology and the functions of the different parts of the brain
12:09:43 <jaymax> I mean, it didn't take much reponse liguistics to iron out there.
12:09:43 <Nothing\> a lot, if not most of what they know in modern times was learn from people with damage or some sort of lesion or tumour on the brain. Or they have part of their brain removed.
12:09:43 <Nothing\> and based on where the damage took place, and what the simpsons are they can infer what the function of that damaged part of the brain was
12:09:43 <Nothing\> and yes i meant to say simpsons instead of symptoms
12:09:43 <Nothing\> TRIGGER ALRERT
12:09:43 <T3sl4> i'm a tumor i'm a tumor i'm a tumor i'm a tumor
12:09:43 <rust_collector> that reminds me of something
12:09:43 <Nothing\> T3sl4, lol i know exactly what you're referencing
12:09:43 <rust_collector> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o31pmwWNUww

12:09:43 <Nothing\> you know, it's gotta be that something about the new episodes of family guy and american dad jus aren't doing it for me
12:09:43 <Nothing\> cuz when i think back to old episodes, watch clips from them i still laugh
