i have no opinions either way of spiritual healer john of god(JOG) but i was amazed at how he put scissors up a patients nose and repeadtedly twisted and turned them them -this is known as the" blockhead trick" which derren brown performed - but this relates to putting objects in ones OWN nose and is a common trick but it is - not about putting objects up someone ELSE'S nose- which JOG has been described by skeptic james randi as " highly dangerous" - but how many have suffered injury thru JOG doing this to them?
It is a well known observation that when you pick your nose, that little gooey thingus that hangs on to the booger is actually a brain cell. We have here a perfectly good reason why one should not habitually pick one's nose.
Recently I have discovered the condition has a name, mucopolysaccharineurodigitosis. It is manifested by symptoms similar to Alzheimers.
And.
Er.
Let's see.
I forgot what comes next.

you're implying that when we sneeze, pieces of our brain get ripped out and fly across the room?
you're supposed to tell the punchline after the joke, neo...

Neurological symptoms appear to accompany only digital mining of the aforementioned mucopolysaccarides.

Sorry, tali. I can't imagine how any such thing could be done, so I responded with ridicule.
Mea culpa.

The how of it seems so easy as to be a trick question. I'm considerably more interested in the "Why?".

I'm more interested in the "How do you get other people gullible enough to let you do that to them?" angle.
