Thirsty People Feel More Pain
Bifurcati writes "Being thirsty makes you more sensitive to pain, according to a recent study. By simultaneously doing brain scans, new areas of the brain were activated when both pain and thirst were present, apparently making the pain more "painful" - perhaps a survival method so that pain is prioritized over thirst. They'd like to do more research, but ethical issues make it tough - even these subjects had to spend three hours being poked and prodded!"
...all true!
Whenever I've been without a beer for a while, the pain just kicks in man. Oh the terrible pain!
That's why foreplay is so important so that one can sustain prolonged poking.

If getting shot causes pain, wouldn't the same be true for its not-so-distant-cousin, pleasure?

Does he introduce himself by saying, "I'm Batman!...ghelidj" ?
Terrorists can attack freedom, but only Congress can destroy it.
What few people realize is that Dr. Batmanghelidj is really Bruce Wayneghelidj's alter ego. Everybody knows that the Wayneghelidj Water has a stranglehold on the world's water distribution networks, so who really benefits if everyone drinks more water? ;)
I dunno, but where can I sign up for the study?

Hey, maybe the "bathroom breaks" caused the carpal tunnel syndrome in the first place! Anyone check his breifcase for "grown-up" magazines?
Drink more water ?
