I want one

I was really impressed by a theory I heard of a few years ago. signals travel down fibres in the swede, hit a connection point then jump the gap, or synapse.
But there just aren't enough 'wires' in the brain to account for the way it works. So the theory was that a signal starts out going down a wire, heads to a ferry landing, then jumps through the fluid, lands at another wire then carries on to its destination.
This multiplies the possible number of connections to astronomical numbers.

sort of wireless brain instead of lan cable

Did anyone see "Decade of Discovery", BBC2 yesterday evening?

Included was the fish with the transparent head:



Suffice to say members of the opposite sex of this species find a transparent head really sexy. And they say love is blind.

how about a mould of your head instead of the x-ray.

The x-ray could be anyone's, whereas a cast of your bonce will show the descendants where they got their good looks from

Did you have to squint?

thinks about it, you would finally get to know if you had a tiny little shrivelled wallnut stuck on the top of your spinal column, bobbing about in a gallon of brain fluid, or an impressive, pulsating organ that einstein would have been proud of.

It is a really cool thing.

I had a complete spinal CAT scan a few years ago - was pretty cool seeing my brain all sliced up!!

yes, but did they let you keep the images ?

the point about an xray, is that its transparent, excellent for sticking on a mirror or a window

I want an xray image of my head. and I want to stick it on the mirror in the back bedroom


hands up if you think I am a loony.

I think you're a loony because you can't see how many of us have our hands raised.

It would be an historic valuable document. for posterity.

imagine it. my cyber-great-great-great grandkids being able to see old EO's swede.

ok , maybe its a dumb idea

Surely you should put it inside the mirrored cabinet in the bathroom. That way you can look at your melon from the outside, then open the door to see the inside.

Simples.
