Question:Has Science explained Death! I think so!

Digg directed me to a story on howstuffworks about science & Death.

First a few definitions:

OBE – Out of Body experience

NDE – Near Death experience.

Pam Reynolds had a brain operation because she had a brain aneurysm.  For this operations, doctors had to drain all of the blood from her brain for 45 minutes.  Technically, she was dead for that time.  Some awesome things happened when she was brought back.

She recounted talking to relatives….that had already passed.  One of the more amazing things is she explained parts of the surgery and knew exactly the tools that were used on her!

“A brain-dead person should not be able to form new memories — he shouldn’t have any consciousness at all, really. So how can anything but a metaphysical explanation cover NDEs?”(source:Howstuffworks)

Another study conducted by University of Kentucky researchers has made them develop a hypothesis saying that the mind can wake before the body causing hallucinations and the feeling of being out of your body.  Although this does make sense, it still doesn’t correlate with how a “brain-dead person can develop these memories or experiences”.

Someday, whenever I do croak….I still want my body to go into preservation so that if any type of scientific break-through comes around bringing people back….I want to be first in line.  It will definitely be in my will.

This is amazing!

The Love is Gone….Completely

And now Ladies & Gents, A very special song for that very special someone:

“That Is Why”

Today I sat and smoked myself to cancer
Thinking about the dancer at the bar
Well how was I to know
That a crush could just implode
‘Til it became a grudge eclipsing every star

And yes I know my addictions run the gamut
The drugs, the smokes, the booze, the 24
But you can’t make the turkey colder
Or skew me less bipolar
Let me list the things about you I abhor

Horrible, you’re…
So easy, talk sleezy
You led me off the plank and left me queasy
And that is why
You can’t rock my world

You swore that you were taken when I met you
But yes you did undress me from afar
A gentle concubine
You’ll skip amongst the mines
Just a product of the endless empty grind

You lack the curves that prove a proper lady
A slender slave with sluttish, sleepy eyes
Though once I was emoting
And Bono-lyric quoting
I have found another be my guest and die

With starry eyes, she’s…
Warm-glancing, entrancing
And now I’m through with all your sick sad ranting
And that is why
You can’t rock my world

I’ve lost you
And now I glide through the silky sky
It’s so blue
And you’re just old news
That is why
You’re so screwed
Cadaver gone blue
This has died
Your machine has grown gangrene
And now I see right through your lies

With…
Ripe wonder, I plunder
Her village now that I know that I’ve become her
And that is why
You can’t rock my
That is why
That is why
You’ll never ever ever in a GOD DAMN MILLENIUM
Be my girl
