Juste deux garçons bon vieux,
Ils jamais voulu faire du mal...

I call it "Mal" 'cause it's so bad..
>> ^Sagemind:

I've heard of people naming their penis before, but in my opinion, "Mel" is a strange name.

>> ^Trancecoach:
How long before someone's leaked tirades is called "pulling a Mel"?

I try to pull a Mel at least twice a week.

It's actually a Malamute. Both Mals and Huskys are neat dogs, but I like the Mal as a family dog a little better.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

One of the findings from this study was that a certain amount of intoxication prohibited people from seeing the illusion, which would imply that they see the truth.
He jokes about it, referring to a colleague who was tipsy, but later he notes a study that suggested that cannabis use prohibits the left and right hemispheres of the brain from communicating--not unlike the way that people prone to grand mal seizures are cured, by cutting the membrane between the two. (corpus collosum?)
What I suggest...and clearly there is ample argument against this...what I suggest is that marijuana users are less susceptible to illusion than are non-marijuana users.
And in keeping with that thought, that is why it is so dangerous to the status quo.

A-NI-MAL!!!

Mal is great, but I don't believe I care for this "Kimmel" fellow. I love Firefly AND the theme song. I knitted myself a Jayne hat and wore it all winter. A grand total of three people recognized it.

His name is always Captain Mal...there is no Nathan so fix the gorram title!

well sure it would look awesome to us, but i'm wondering if its something mal would do...?

>> ^CheshireSmile:

captain mal with a lightsaber?? wait... i can't decide if thats awesome or not...


Let me go on record and say "Yes, it's totally awesome."

So what's left? A person missing 75% of brain mass in a vegetative state?


I can't speak for this case, but I had a benign tumor the size of a kiwi fruit removed from the left side of my brain 7 years ago, and I'm fine (albeit on anti-seizure meds for probably the rest of my life). How damaging the tumor or cyst is to the brain I think has to do with how quickly it grows,and surely the location; it's probably generally less serious if the tumor/cyst growth occurs on the "outside" of the brain vs inside it.

The brain gets compressed to accommodate the growth, but the brain itself in some/many? cases isn't considered damaged. In my case the compression of the brain finally got to the point where I had a grand-mal seizure -- that was my first clue anything was wrong. After my surgery I basically had a dented brain, but it "bounced back" to its former size over a few months.

My guess is that this person had a similar experience, that they had no clue it was there for quite a while, even though their brain was getting progressively more squashed and they might have been having weird symptoms, like motor or behavioral oddities, or seizures, etc. Depends on the area of the brain that's being stimulated from the compression.

Oh, here's more info on the video from the link provided by Hawkinson above:
_________________

The video below uses saline to gradually "float" the cyst out of the brain. The neurosurgeon gently squirts small volumes of saline into the space around and behind the cyst until it neatly plops into the surgical pan, intact. The patient, a 16 year old girl, fully recovered.

- And, what happens to the hole the cyst left in the brain?

"The empty space initially gets filled up by the fluid which covers thr brain called CSF, then the brain which was compressed by the cyst expands to normal state filling up the space."

"Isn't it time to move on?"

"I like it."

I'm with you, Mal.

This is why no matter what Nathan is in...I call him Mal. He'll always be Captain Mal to me.


Captain "Hammer" Mal
