THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM FOR MODERN MEDICINE . . . OR IS THERE? Dr. Adrian Upton, professor of neurology at MacMasters University in Hamilton, Ontario, recently rigged a brain wave machine, artificial respirators, and intravenous feeding equipment to a bowl of lime jello about the size of a human brain, and—gasp!—recorded readings typical of those emitted by a living person. In fact, the good doctor noted, the results of the electronic analysis would not have qualified the dessert as sufficiently "dead" to have the life-sustaining plugs pulled under existing legal guidelines!
Ahhh... that clears up a lot - Hamilton, right next door to Toronto - the Big Smoke. Those two cities combined can't field a good hockey or football team - although I always liked the Blue Jays. I wonder who was his comparison human subject for the jello EEG: Ex-Premier Mike Harris? I have met humans, especially politicians, bureaucrats, many postal employees, and most extremists of any political bent, who probably don't qualify to have the life-sustaining plugs left in even when they are walking around doing whatever it is they do.

Boy... you go to work one day and you sure do miss a lot in this thread :-)
