Chess Player's Head Explodes -
Chess Player's Head Explodes - You know, I heard about this a few years ago, but I thought I had dreamed it. So I remembered to google for it and I found this. What really gets me is that list of possibile indicators at the end. I'm a big fat yes for most of them. SO, if you are ever around me and then are all of a sudden covered with brain matter, you will know why. I hope that comforts you.On another note I am going to vent about stupid indicator lists. The ones that really bug me are the ones that are released by prescription drug companies to test whether you are clinically Depressed(tm) or Anxious(tm). Crap questions like "Are you sometimes sad without knowing why?" They basically make the feeling of any emotion a possible "symptom" and I think that's one of the big evils in society today, no hyperbole. Anyway, I don't take them seriously anymore, but I know a lot of people do.
On a third note (hey it's almost a melody), someone who has the ability to spontaneously make their head explode could be very valuable for political or CIA purposes. You could use it for framing an enemy! Anyone want to write a short story about that? Three cheers for Hyper-Cerebral Electrosis!
