Brain Drained^^

The professor suddenly turned to his assistant "Suppose we have a volunteer who agreed to have his undamaged brain removed."

"What!" exclaimed his assistant

" Hypothetically speaking  of course. We have the knowledge and the technology to circulate oxygenated blood to keep the grey matter, white matter and other brain components alive, healthy, alert and, most importantly, be fully aware."

"What are you getting at?"

"Wouldn't the brain then still be conscious?  Without sensory input from the nerves. wouldn't the person's grey matter conclude that it is actually existing detached from the body? It can still  think therefore it  will conclude that it exists ... to actually be!"

The assistant was shocked  "Oh Dear!  What?  Can the Matter Be?"

Dedicated to our amazing Brain. This feghoot may look like fantasy but I have no doubt that when a person is guillotined, his conscious head falls into the basket and fully aware of what has happened for a few minutes until oxygen deprivation takes effect.

Getting Mooned^^^

"You can't go wrong investing in Silver" said the financial analyst.

"But I've got burnt with your advice before" moaned Sam

"Not this time Sam. There will be a chronic shortage of silver because the heavy rains in Peru have affected the mine's output. Prices will shoot through the roof!"

"Are you really sure? Silver prices are at an all time high."

"Of course they are. The shortage is driving the prices up. Now stop moaning. You will be laughing all the way to the bank in a few weeks"
Of course Sam invested his money and, as before, silver prices crashed. He had fallen for the lie again.

Contrary to what the poets and laymen say, when you understand something, for example the moon, it does not take anything away from the beauty or the mystery of it. The beauty remains and the mystery is raised to a higher level. This feghoot is dedicated to the "The Theory of Everything" -- the ultimate quest to explain the universe and beyond ... 42
