The Brain ! Have you seen yours lately ?

[Anatta]

Actually, just finished removing and dissecting a brain out of a cadaver for school a couple of months ago... Yes, I myself actually got to crack open the cranium with a chisel and hammer, and pull out the cadaver's brain   Saw about 40 more brains removed from the other cadavers around our lab... So I made the inference that I might have one too lol!

But you still have yet to see your own...So you can't say for sure that you have one too

Lol... Just guess I will have to do some self-brain surgery 10 years from now after residency if I ever go down the neurosurgeon path :0)

But you'll need a 'brain' to carry out this, are you sure you've got one ?

Kia Ora Peky,

Yes I guess so...Why, have you seen it on the "Most Wanted" programme and want to collect the reward ?

Kia Ora Peky,

Afro-Caribbean father [Jamaican-Jamaican Patois,] Anglo-Saxon mother [English-Londoner-Cockney] Produced me=Afro-Saxon 'tanned' Cockney[I got my mother's accent] ...No doubt in another life I was also Chinese...

Mind you when living in Oz I was once mistaken for Chinese...Weird but true...

When I first arrived in Oz I met Aussies who thought I was 'faking' my accent, because they had never seen a 'coloured' Pom before...Australia did at the time [when I emigrated]  have an "All White Immigration Policy" I got in because they 'assumed' I was of Mediterranean descent which for the Aussie immigration officials was good enough=white enough...

Not that I mind, after all, over the years I've been mistaken for Brazilian, Spanish, French [South of France people have dark skin], Greek, Italian, Middle Eastern, Indonesian, Japanese... Occasionally some get it right and say things like "Are you part Jamaican ?" Or "You must have some West Indian blood in you !"   

{I forgot my all time favourite weirdness=When living on the Danish island of Bornholm, I worked in a youth hostel and during a lunch break-I was sitting in the lounge reading the 'GodFather' and a young American backpacker said "Wow! your English is good enough for you to read a book in English !" Remember I have tanned skin, curly hair and slight African facial feature, however when I go to the beach 'which I did quite often' the sun and salt water used to bleach my hair-I'd end up with blond sun bleached streaks through it, so it would seem he thought blond hair=Danish- tanned skin=I tanned easily in the summer sun...I mean, how far could I possible be from a Nordic features, blue eyed, blond hair Scandinavian-but weird things do happen ! }     

But all jokes aside, here in Aotearoa [NZ] people, 'especially overseas tourists' think I'm Maori, or part Maori...My ex is Pākehā [European White New Zealander] when we were together and our 'countries of birth' came into the topic of conversation with strangers, their first thoughts were, that I was the Kiwi [Maori] and my ex was the Pom [English]...

I tend to call 'home' wherever the body happens to be...

I've seen pictures of it  I had an fMRI a few years back. I was in the hospital and they wanted to make sure I didn't have tumor or something before they gave me an "official" bipolar diagnosis. The doctor told me it was quite a light show 

I haven't seen my brain now that you mention it    Maybe it's all a huge conspiracy hospitals came up with

Kia Ora Darkflame,

It's one big conspiracy theory, thought up by people who have seen 'other' people's brains-but not their own...
