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!"
Presumably a university located in, say, Guantanamo Bay would have a very relaxed ethics board?
I'm surprised they havn't set one up. Question is, who would be on that board...
But I bet it would have a top notch medical research center
In the free world the media isn't government run; the government is media run.

Seems to me the most obvious example is Terry Schaivo. 95% brain dead or not, to allow someone to starve to death, via lack of water & nutrients, is so cruel. This isn't a "Schaivo vs Iraq" debate, it's about a fellow U.S. citizen being stripped of water and food.
Sick and wrong. Now more proof is in front of us to show us that she WAS in pain, no matter what the so called "experts" say.
When she was humanely starved to death last year, wasn't everyone saying how dehydration was painless?
Non-querty typos. English probably not native.
I believe the writer was going for 'pretty well proven'.
You are being MICROattacked, from various angles, in a SOFT manner.
"All my foes are spelling or grammar Nazis."
That's because you can't fucking spell and your grammar fucking sucks. Seriously, can't you spend 15 seconds proofreading your post before clicking the "Submit" button? Even if you are incapable of detecting poorly constructed and grammatically ambiguous sentences (like your first one), you should at least be able to notice things like "peopel" and "orety". Posts like yours are physically painful to read by overly-sensitive anal-retentive types like me. In fact, reading your post caused the stick up my ass to become dislodged, requiring me to get up off my chair, go upstairs to the bathroom (as there are no bathrooms in my Mom's basement), and replace the stick with the handle to the toilet plunger. I am not used to engaging in such strenuous physical activity (except when I take my bi-monthly shower), and it's ALL YOUR FAULT.
And that's why all of your foes are spelling or gammar Nazis.
