I had an Injury, neurological don’t know if they did that to me but Ithe was approx 44 yrs ago..anyway when I’m in shower washing my hair, water is not running down my face, but sometimes water hits certain spot near the front of my head and I start gagging cause water is now running down back of my throat.

Kao_Valin said: “Dr. Evil said: “Why does the guy in the picture have a funnel on his head?”
That is the place god speaks into and tells him to do other goofy medical practices. I can just imagine the person who came up with trepanation as a medical practice. He and his buddies were probably drunk, sitting around bullshitting. Then someone said “hey next time someone complains lets just drill a hole in their head” Then they all laughed and threw up their meat. Then the “doctor” that didnt drink that night took it seriously and went trep’ crazy on the hung over bunch.”

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have friends like this who seem to experience short term obsession with one thing or another before moving onto the next.
His conclusion that trepanation does nothing (which may well be the case) sounds more like a case of boredom setting in, much like a child no longer amused by a toy.
I think in the case of this weed smoking, caffeine chugging guy it may have been his abstinence from these drugs which may have given a heightened sense of consciousness. Hell, I just took two weeks off work of which I spent one week mostly blazed. A day after stopping with the dubes things were definately looking clearer.
