<STRONG>Well, if someone strapped you down to a table, cut open your head, took out your brain, put it on another table and then stabbed a spear into and began twisting it around viciously, you would not, in fact, feel the spear twisting around in your brain.</STRONG>

Nor would you feel anything, for that matter. An unfortunate consequence of being dead.

Really?
*cuts off zombie peasant's legs*
Gurrghhh....
*zombie peasant collapses and flails about*

Heh heh heh.

... Wait, how can I tell if a zombie is in pain?

That's not the brain though, the statement was "You don't know pain until someone twist a spear in your brain"  A spear being twisted in one's brain wouldn't cause any pain in the brain, so please refrain from from watching Citizen Kane with Lois Lane or singing in the rain in Maine, it's okay to feign watching Citizen Kane with Lois Lane, but not in Spain, and definitely not on a train.

Shut it or you'll get your brain maimed in vain.

[Alfador]

This thread is getting truly heinous.

[Cthulhu]

That doesn't make any sense Kagus, how would such an action be in vain?

[Kagus]

Well, it would be an act of vanity, from what I could ascertain.

Okay, so maybe it'd just burst some veins.  It's really all the same.

This is getting insane.  Can we get back to talking about the game?

I think Kagus and Patarak caught on to my point, although I was temporarily forgetting about Phineas Gage.

[Metal Chao]

Yeah well once I killed a wolf.
Using twelve dwarves.
Wearing platemail.
With crossbows.

So there.

What do you mean, that he didn't feel pain?  IIRC he was unconscious for several minutes, maybe it stopped hurting by then, something tells me even without pain receptors in the brain, that'd hurt.

Somehow I *knew* I'd see you in this thread, after it got to that level.

Spelling it out: the vast majority of the time when you have a spear in your brain, you're dead.  Hence, having a spear twisted around in your brain usually doesn't hurt a bit.

But, Phineas Gage is an exception to the "dead" rule.

[Dae]

Well, it depends...
Perhaps when you're dead you still feel everything that's made to your body.
