    perhaps we should have a new section, where silly posts get moved simply so we can go ridicule them

    Mary-Jane likes to call him Tiger.... not to worry, I'm used to my attempts at jokes failing

    Anyway, I'll admit that a few of the so-called facts did seem odd (particularly the bat one), but I'll admit to taking a lot of it as true at face value simply because of the long list

    Note to self: Leave the humour to the professionals and at least Google whe seeing long lists of "facts"

    Pretty much everything kills brain cells. Hitting your head, alcohol, sneezing, etc.

    They aren't very robust things.

    Crap. Guess I'm done for then, at school I was hitting my head at least 10 times a day.

    Nowadays, it's closer to once a day, usually at some point within the hour after I wake.

    I think he means actually banging your cranium, not <cough> what you're thinking of <cough>.

    I don't think I ever did it at school, but fair play dude

    So what we need is someone to work out how many new cells are being created, and how many we loose when someone gives us a Tigger Uppercut, so that we don't turn into Chris Eubank !.
