rmp2000v21 Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 This is a little puzzling, its based on a thing i read in a book the other day. If you think about it, you don't have a head. what see in the mirror and what other people see is light reflections, and what you can feel as your head are merely sensory stimuli. So, how can you prove that you do actually have a head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matter Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 by hitting it with a brick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 But that is sensory stimulation. The only way to prove it is to measure it's displacement, then you will see there is SOMETHING there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuTze Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Chop it off with a large knife, and give it someone else to look at. Or that cannibal guy in Germany. He can tell you what it tastes like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmp2000v21 Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. Euripides (484 BC - 406 BC), The Bacchae, circa 407 B.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 I'm sure Euripides did not intend to suggest that anyone who calls someone a fool, is foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Demosthenes- Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 We pricked our fingers to test our blood type. I am kinda...not good with that kind of stuff. So I conveniently lost my permision slip and never got to do it, Darn! But I was in the room, and I really didn't feel good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was tested, but of course, there is nothing to tell your lungs to breathe or your heart to beat, so you die. -Demosthenes- said in post #18 :We pricked our fingers to test our blood type.

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 They really aren't meant to be seen, unless you are idssecting something. Even then, that's not what they are meant for. This thread was stupid anyway, who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
