  • Putting the astounding medical achievement aside, this brings back major memories for me.

    As a Canadian kid who watched this commercial over and over again during my afternoon cartoons, I can personally attest to the fact that every kid from my generation grew up annoying their parents by saying constantly screaming "burnt toast...I smell burnt toast!"

  • There are no pain receptors in the brain.

  • pretty kool how he was able to map the brain, mostly the parietal lobe (somatosensory cortex as you see with the hand with water) and the primary motor cortex

  • @callyjohnwell what University?

  • Canadian problems

  • @KirstenPagsuyuin they are like turks

  • @dadabase Soooo true. I did that a lot too XD

  • @KirstenPagsuyuin What about the man who created basketball? Born in Canada with dual citizenship.

    You can't have it both ways. If you want to be technical this man is an american national.

    Personally I think you are a national of the country of your home. You can ship me back to Hong Kong but I would hate it there. I'm a Canadian.
