LONDON (Reuters) - Stimulating a certain area of the brain can produce a creepy feeling that someone is watching you when no one is, scientists said Wednesday. Swiss researchers made the discovery while evaluating a young woman for surgery to treat epilepsy...When they electrically stimulated the left temporoparietal junction in her brain, which is linked to self-other distinction and self-processing, she thought someone was standing behind her. If they repeated the stimulus while she leaned forward and grabbed her knees she had an unpleasant sensation that the shadowy figure was embracing her..."Our findings may be a step toward understanding the mechanisms behind psychiatric manifestations such as paranoia, persecution and alien control," said Olaf Blanke, of the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, in the journal Nature...

Two women came before wise King Solomon, dragging between them a young man in a three-piece suit.
"This young CPA agreed to marry my daughter," said one.
"No! He agreed to marry MY daughter," said the other. And so they haggled before the King, until he called for silence.
"Bring me my biggest sword," said Solomon," and I shall hew the young accountant in half. Each of you shall receive a half."
"Sounds good to me," said the first lady. But the other woman said, "Oh Sire, do not spill innocent blood. Let the other woman's daughter marry him."
The wise king did not hesitate a moment. "The accountant must marry the first lady's daughter," he proclaimed.
"But she was willing to hew him in two!" exclaimed the king's court.
"Indeed," said wise King Solomon. "That shows she is the TRUE mother-in-law."
Shalom.

That's what you get when an architect does demo. Do it right, hire an engineer, preferably with military experience.

Demolition is easy... you just write a little not on the drawings that says "Demolish existing structure" and it magically happens!

After several weeks of being by himself, God noticed how depressed and lonely Adam appeared. God looked at him and said -- Adam - I can get you a really nice companion for an Arm and a Leg.
Adam - replied. That ain't gonna happen, but what could I get for a rib

All my explosives experience was either before my military service, or after a night of beer & mexican food.

Glad to see A&M survived Army. What the hell is Franchione's problem? For the money TAMU is spending they deserve a top shelf coach.
