Title: It's the question that drives us...
Post by ShadowLord on Jul 12th, 2006, 7:42am
Okay... Here's an easy one...

A doctor develops a miraculous surgery that is 100% effective at curing cluster headaches permanently with no side effects... Except... You have a 50% chance of dying during the surgery, and a 95% chance of dying within 5 years of having the surgery.  Knowing the risk of death, but at the same time, the fact that you would never have another CH hit for as long as you live, would you have the surgery done?

You need to get out more often - go play in a rain puddle - walk on the grass - swing a golf club - scrub a floor - eat chocolate - take a lady out to dinner.  Do something that takes you away from the morbid!

I second this motion.  

Damn dude, you really need to follow the advice here and get something in your life.  Even when getting hit all god damn dday long, this would be bullshit.  

Damn if nothing else, sit on the couch with a mag or a porn and think about nothing but hairy palms for a bit.

Drk, your questions are interesting, and they don't bother me.  I know there's nothing wrong with you and that you're giving people stuff to think about instead of bickering back and forth about politics and religion.

No.

It doesn't sound miraculous, the way you term it.
