What? The brain doesn't have sensory nerves, but headaches, seizures, and many neurological disorders are pain.

I thought headaches were technically pain located in the upper neck?

You are thinking of tension headaches.

Care to explain the differences? I'm uninformed.
My one year doesn't start until after my 'service window' (three weeks) is over.

I learned the phrase "Mommy Porn" from someone at the studio we were doing voice recording. Apparently it refers to books like "50 Shades of Grey" and its ilk.
On an related note, I make it a point to use said phrase every chance I get.

That the PlayStation logo is a P and an S.
No seriously, I had no idea.

I've been playing with my Gamecube a lot lately and a few weeks ago I found out about the eject button by accident.
See the spin motor that holds the disc in place in the middle? That's a goddman button, if you push it, the disc pops out.
11 years and I found about this now by accident.

I'm surprised as well. I know in GA you're clear for a good 18 months after you do one.

If every part of your body has a corresponding part in your brain that triggers pain in said part, how would that work for the brain itself? The brain would need a zone within itself that triggers pain for itself. And if it exists, what happens when I try to inflict pain on the part of my brain that's supposed to control pain in my brain? In the end you'd get an infinite recursion loop.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the brain cannot feel pain.
Edit: I just made this fine drawing to show you the idea:
I'm taking Enviromental Bio. Yesterday our professor was talking about how the UN/WHO dropped DDT in Borneo to control the spread of Malaria by killing the Mosquitos.
Though the eventual destruction of the food chain, Borneo's cats ended up dying. Since the cats died the rat population went up making everyone much sicker. To alleviate the problem the UN flew over Borneo and parachuted cats over the villages. Poor kitties
I also learned from Drunk History that Elvis had a Bearau of Narcotics and Drugs badge, Al Capone's brain rotted itself stupid because he didn't treat his syphillis.

Exactly. It's like that container paradox. You can also surgically remove the top of someone's skull and eat their brain while they're still conscious. You just have to make sure to eat the more non-vital portions.

If you're having your first summer fling, and you know it's only temporary, just relax and enjoy it. Don't over analyze.
Shit, I'm in my mid-thirties and it's been one of the most amazing summers of my life but it's been a bit of a struggle to accept the impermanence of it all. Eventually you just have to let go and let life handle it, man.

Stonehenge is technically not a henge, even though the word henge comes from Stonehenge.

Zed from Men in Black is Agent Z and they call him Zed because that's how you pronounce Z in Gods country
I just thought is name was Zed.....yup
I just thought is name was Zed.....yup
The same way I did with the PSX, Saturn and PS2: Grab the sides of the disc and pull it up.
Never broke a disc. In fact, they are still intact without scratches. Lucky I suppose.

Honestly still don't know this, which is why I just call the wiener dogs

So in simple terms, if you inflict pain on something that interprets and "produces" pain sensations (i.e the brain), the pain would fall into recursion and go on forever?
