...couldn't I hook you up to a brain scanning device, wait until you have a "god feeling", find out what specific neurotransmitters are firing in what area, and then stimulate this part of your brain manually to make you feel god?

Scientists are already doing this with other senses like taste, feeling and even memories. By stimulating areas of the brain, people can experience tastes without eating, sensations without being touched, and memories without actually thinking of the events.

I could conceivably implant a small electrical stimulator in your brain, and then by pushing a car alarm keyfob, make you experience god over and over, AND YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

A man is walking home alone late one foggy night... when behind him he hears:Bump...BUMP...BUMP...Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him.BUMP...BUMP...BUMP... Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, the casket bouncing quickly behindhim FASTER...FASTER...BUMP...BUMP... BUMP...He runs up to his door, fumbles with his keys, opens the door, rushes in, slams and locks the door behind him.However, the casket crashes through his door, with the lid of the casket clappingclappity-BUMP...clappity-BUMP.. clappity-BUMP...on his heels, the terrified man runs.Rushing upstairs to the bathroom, the man locks himself in. His heart is pounding; his head is reeling; his breath is coming in sobbing gasps.With a loud CRASH the casket breaks down the door.Bumping and clapping toward him.The man screams and reaches for something, anything,but all he can find is a bottle of cough syrup!Desperate, he throws the cough syrup at the casket...AND The coffin stops

I don't really want to use my real name, because it doesn't roll off the tongue and isn't very memorable.

What are some names you would suggest?
I like my middle name, Estelle and my nickname Kyandi (Candy).

I need to do a poster for a class, and my topic is Drugs, Insanity, and La Symphonie Fantastique, composed by Hector Berlioz. I need as much information as I can about this piece of music.

I would like to know what the music is about, and what happens in the music...

What drugs are involved in this piece of music, what part do they play, if Berlioz was on drugs when he wrote this...

And what Insanity has to do with this piece.

I need enough information to make a poster - help!

Ants and Sluggards (Proverbs 6:6-11)

6Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways and be wise!--7Which, having no chief, overseer, or ruler,
8Provides her food in the summer and gathers her supplies in the harvest.
9How long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?
10Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down and sleep--
11So will your poverty come like a robber or one who travels [with slowly but surely approaching steps] and your want like an armed man [making you helpless].

Ok, I know I'm a little 9th grader, but their attitudes really annoy me. Like, I have an art class with a few of them, and they're so mean about their classmates. It's driving me insane, but I don't know what to do about it. It's always so quiet in the art room, except these two seniors that are practically screaming about how someone did this, or someone else did that. And if anyone tells me to ignore it, I will definitely NOT pick their answer as the best answer. I've been trying to ignore it. It doesn't work. Every time I hear them I just want to scream my head off and tell them to shut up. What should I do???
