    Benoit who murdered his family.

    To be fair to Benoit, tests conducted his suicide showed that Benoît’s brain was that of a 85 year old dementia patient.

    Neuroscientist and former wrestler Christopher Nowinski argued that Benoit may have been suffering from repeated, untreated concussions throughout his wrestling career, ultimately leading to an unstable mental state. Nowinski was quoted as saying that Benoit “was one of the only guys who would take a chair shot to the back of the head … which is stupid”. Tests conducted on Benoit’s brain by Julian Bailes, the head of neurosurgery at West Virginia University (WVU), showed “Benoit’s brain was so severely damaged it resembled the brain of an 85-year-old Alzheimer’s patient”. Other tests conducted on Benoit’s brain tissue revealed severe chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and damage to all four lobes of the brain and brain stem. Bailes and his colleagues concluded that repeated concussions can lead to dementia, which can contribute to severe behavioural problems. Benoit’s father said that brain damage may have been the leading cause of the murder-suicide. A statement released by WWE described the findings as “speculative”.

  • Science works best when people are:

    • Creatively thinking
    • Use ideas from other scientific areas for their scientific area

    The book “How We Got To Now” does a fabulous job of showing that science is not a uniform step by step process instead is a tree with different branches.

    AC and refrigerators all started because someone wanted to ship ice to tropical locations for money.

    SETI is another prefect example. A bunch of scientists sat around and said to themselves “We have all these new instruments for space. What if we tried to find alien life with it?”
















  • I was very excited to play Throat GOAT Nancy. I was going into this thinking it be would like Deep Throat and kicking off another Golden Age of Porn. Instead it was a boring love story between myself and Dennis Quiad (playing failed actor and evil incarnate Ronald Reagan.) For all that is decent, please don’t watch this movie. Let’s not give Ol’ Rotten Ronnie any vindication. I implore everyone to find Rotten Ronnie’s grave and turn it into a bathroom. This movie was my greatest mistake.
