Wait why didn't he get a metal plate?

@Bigbossjin When I was leaving the hospital, I asked the Dr. about this hole he left in my skull. He told me "there's no medical reason to fill it in, that's cosmetic surgery." That made it a "no-brainer" for me, as I have no interest in cosmetic surgery.

Brain will expand?

So fucking what? Brain size within the same species does not make you any more intelligent.

Also, its REALLY easy to kill you.

*poke*

[lundissimo]

@Bigbossjin What makes you bring up intelligence??? Simple physics will tell you that if your brain expands inside a fixed space (cranium), it will unavoidably compress the little blood vessels between the brain and skull. Enough of this can lead to stroke, which can easily kill you. As far as *poke* is concerned - ever notice that you've already got two big holes in your skull, right up front, and your eyeballs don't provide much protection. It is REALLY easy to kill anyone.

Oh My God ....You are that robert lund.....Man ,you were married to a hot,sexy talented woman.

[lundissimo]

@sheshines4all Yes, see zoelund.com.

She was waiting for me upstairs when I got the hole knocked in my head on the way home from work.

@tpaladino

1. If you actually watch the video you will see that it's quite clear that I didn't drill this hole.

2. Exactly - and it doesn't mean it isn't. The scientific studies are determining the validity of this, and the possible reasons why it was much more prevalent than sacrificing virgins throughout history.

3. I'm not removing any of my skull. After removing the bits of shattered skull, the surgeon told me there was no medical reason to fill it in, so I left it alone.

4. Too asinine.

Wasn't expecting the pulsating part-- is really cool. This is really interesting!

@lundissimo Your doctor is wrong, the brain is vulnerable therefore there is the skull protecting it. The hole would make it practically a bullseye for any enemy. It takes a toothpick to possibly turn you into a vegetable.

[Bigbossjin]

@lundissimo

The doctor was wrong. You have a bull-eye on your forehead.

[Bigbossjin]

@lundissimo

Many people get poked in the eye and they don't die from it.

Eyes are father away from the brain than the cranium is.

The Internet is so surreal. I was on io9 reading an article titled, "Weird and Wonderful Movies That You’ll Never Get to See", which talks about Amanda Feilding in, Heartbeat in the Brain (1970), which led me here and finding out who co-wrote "Bad Liutenant" (1992)

are you able to pour liquid inside you skull stimulatiing your brain?
