I am sure their are great applications for arguments for the soul and self here. But for now, wow, this is really interesting. I know that I have never scratched myself until my brain oozed out.

Thanks for the link back, and I know... isn't that article insane? I itched for days after I read it.
Wow, that's completely fascinating. I love neurological stuff. Have you ever read Oliver Sachs? Thanks for the link!
Not read him yet. But I sure dug Robin Williams in Awakenings. And if the book is anything like the movie the Sachs sounds like a pimp (which in Scott language means he seems like an intelligent human worthy of much respect and admiration. I clarify as sometimes people think I am being sarcastic, where I am just utilizing a colloquial meaning.). But seriously big pimpin'.
