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...
Could have been worse.
Could have been "Kiss" by Dope Stars Inc.
And either married or dated one, and won't admit it...
But I'm not bitter.
Oh, you meant a real cow.

If ATF considers it a crime to have the parts to make a machine gun even if you don't assemble it, is it a crime in Minnesota to have a fat chick and a bottle of wesson oil in your car at the same time?
Hello Mr. KOSI, glad to see the family taking part in silliness--but it was a visual with the hand writing "Married to..." Anyways, you're on the list.
Cool!
| You Are Guinness |
 Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them. When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a know it all - especially about subjects you don't know well. But your friends tolerate your drunken ways, because you introduce them to the best beers around. |
Find the answers, ask the questions
Find the roots of an ancient tree
Take me dancing, take me singing
I'll ride on till the moon meets the sea
Day-um my friend. You can find some songs. {swooooon}

| You Are Samuel Jackson |
 When you drink, you want to get wasted. As quickly and cheaply as possible. Looking back on your best times drinking... well, you don't remember them at all. You may be a few brain cells short, but you still can chug a Samuel Jackson! Now get these M^%&ER F&^*IN snakes off the plane! |
I am Costco Vodka.
Still at it Huh?
