Lobotomies and Brain Deletions

[hohaiyee.livejournal.com]

So I started reading Cable and Deadpool, and by the 10th issue, Cable had himself lobotomized...like, parts of his brain, and he looked like he was just gone with the drooling and the ignoring of Sadpool.

...and then he was of course, Okay!

Tony is a smart guy, like, this brain deletion thing, he's really only deleting the parts of his brain that stored the database eh? The database must be huge, so he like, must have used Extremis to keep it separate eh?

So we are going to get a fake brain death, Steve angst, and then Tony will be Okay.

I will laugh at the abuse of the Reset Button, but I still welcome it. Steve will come back, the Avengers will reunite and kick skrull ass, and they will walk into the sunset after saving a whale.

Yeah, I've heard of leeches

In my part of the woods (I live in the UK), they were using it in the better hospitals for that treatment. Oh man.

Hookworms, eh? *thinks about my mum begging me to wear shoes as a child* Interesting.

If you could use hookworms to control the immune system like that...man, sign me up. (I wonder, I wonder if that's part of why asthma and allergies are so much more common in developed countries? Immune system evolved with these little nasties that modern shoe-wearing kids aren't exposed to? I now have a bunch of interesting and revolting questions to ask my boss.)

Yeah, I do wonder

Because I was raised in the West Indies, and we'd run pell mell without shoes on. Hookworms would get in through the skin of the soles of your feet and live in your small intenstine. Some people would have them in their bodies for years, until the worms grew too big (and tried to get out out of your nose or mouth - ick), or you'd get medicine for it. That's why we'd get a dose of castor oil before going back to school (ick) to get rid of worms.

Yeah.
