WASHINGTON A rejected lover's broken heart may cause as much distress in a pain center of the brain as an actual physical injury, according to new research.
California researchers have found a physiological basis for social pain by monitoring the brains of people who thought they had been maliciously excluded from a computer game by other players.

Thanks for the ping. I've often wondered if this wasn't indeed the case...although it raises an uncomfortable question about people who stay in abusive relationships.

I'm curious to know how the researchers determined that the angular cingulate cortex was activated in the game-playing situation. Were they doing real-time MRI imaging? Wouldn't that bother your game a bit?

You didn't break it
You didn't break it
You didn't break my heart when you split
You only cracked it just a bit
Somethin's changed
Though I know my heart ain't plastic
I guess through the years it's grown
A little more elastic
'Cause this time cryin' time
Didn't last as long
And my heart just needed minor repairs
And it feels pretty strong
(Feels pretty strong)
And it's movin' right along
You didn't break it
You didn't break it
You didn't break my heart when you split
You only cracked it just a bit
You didn't break it
You didn't break it
You didn't break it
You didn't break my heart
Losin' love, it used to crush me
Now it doesn't
I just figured it was meant to be
Or it wasn't
So if you wanna know
Now that you're gone, the shape I'm in
You never clipped the wings of my heart
It's gonna fly again.
You didn't break it
You didn't break it
You didn't break my heart when you split
You only cracked it just a bit
You didn't break it
You didn't break it
You didn't break it
You didn't break my heart
I got somethin' that keeps me goin'
I got a habit of comin' around, honey
You didn't run me off the highway
You only slowed me down

However, you're the only Freeper in captivity to actually break the Latest Posts page. Can I hire you as a troubleshooter for internet security?
