"Being a severed head does not necessarily = death."

From a lesson in science administered to me by Robot Cultist Taurus Londono. Science!

Oh Dale, you flatter me. I can't take any credit for that gem. Like I said, the lesson was actually administered by Robert J. White via work begun in 1963. Crazy, I know, but the were *live* (as in "not dead") severed heads floating around via the chicken-blood Voodoo shit going down at Cleveland Medical Hospital in 1970.

White's a dead guy now, so, uh...aw shucks about immortality, huh?

All right, Dale...this is tiresome.

You got me. I'm a robot cultist/pseudoscientist/phrenologist/poopypants.

You win the game of chicken. I'll pull away; you go ahead and keep your foot on the gas.

Keep flinging feces from your hall of mirrors. All those turgid turds you post will make a difference in the world someday.

Good luck with the "second stimulus"...rock the vote! Fight the power (or, um, don't)!

Meanwhile, I'll just strap on my "S"ingularity-powered jetpack and, hand-in-hand with my lover Eliezer Yudkowsky, we'll fly off into the trans-future.

To infinity...and beyond!!

You may be no scientist, but possibly a poet?

That's kind of vague..."live" a in how and to what extent?. Someone detected some residual neural activity...or "live" as in they belted out a decent version of Yellow submarine?
