i know a guy named brian, he's a good guy.

I think brain is a just biological organ but it is very complex in its function and operation. It is sturdy yet fragile. Robust yet brittle. Bright yet dark. The most complex of its many functions is to survive, to preserve itself, to ask questions which cannot be answered, and to attempt to answer those unanswerable questions.

Do you think you are nothing more than your brain?

 

[Ishcabittle]

sometimes i think my brain is seriously pissed off at me, boycotting me from completing actual thought.

Do you think you are nothing more than your brain?

Not nothing...but not much to write home abouteither. Perhaps just a shell. But even a shell is not nothing...it IS something!

It dies.

 

[Grammour Boy]

Yep and nothing else matters after that. Not even The Question.

Remember to go to the bathroom first.

You could die in the bathroom, like Elvis and JFK did.
