Indigus: I forgot about Mike the headless chicken! Thanks for the consciousness link, too. Interesting, interesting stuff…

LOL. I should've more than glanced at this before commenting. The subject just flooded me with vague memories of my previous interaction, and my memory is far from perfect. So I woke up this morning still about this and wondering if I could dig up the clinical files I dredged up before. I haven't found the papers I was looking for, but I did find <a href="http://flatrock.org.nz/topics/science/is_the_brain_really_necessary.htm" rel="nofollow">this page</a>, which is a wealth of info and links. This "brainless" talk got me to thinking about that headless chicken that survived for so long. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_the_Headless_Chicken" rel="nofollow">Mike the headless chicken</a>, that's it, truth is truly stranger than fiction. FK makes a good point. LOL.

If Lorber did as well, he didn't mention it. ps I've been watching the tsunami warnings since last hour's mega-quake (8.4?) off Japan. Alaska is nervous. Could be ugly in the Aleutians. Sure been a bunch of quakes lately, but this one's a monster. So far it looks like it might not do to much damage. Correction: Lorber’s star subject, not Dr. Lorber…had the vestigal brain.

Yeah this was a fertile composite of interesting things to consider. The Lorber story had me digging hard for info, but the research yeilded insufficient info to sway the masses. I found it utterly compelling, and the people involved struck me as honorable. Lorber had only a small, vestigal mass of tissue at the top of his brainstem yet functioned remarkably well. That is truly a mindblower, and does, surely, make a case for the holographic mind. I just wish there were more data. Thanks for allowing me to nick this for my blog. I feel a little greedy when I see something I want to post in full, but I'd hate to truncate this. Cheers! Thanks, Joe. Yeah this was a fertile composite of interesting things to consider.
