What's your favorite region of the brain?
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

I liked scooby doo as kind of a last resort, it had a simple formula, kind of like looney toons except shittier, which I could enjoy(like just above tolerate) until something better came on.
The fact that I have the shaggy look has mostly to do with the fact that I don't care how I look.  Although I do think i'm far more attractive when I have my head almost totally shaved, and when my beard is just starting to grow back (it is an odd effect, all my friends agreed I looked good with it even though all of them including me expected it to look horrible).  I don't plan to pay attention to my sex appeal until I got a good reason to.

I don't exactly have a favorite region of the brain.  I am interested in the brain in general so that I can come to understand humanity, and cognition and shit, but also and more recently because I plan to use my understanding of it to try and create AI.
If i was just looking to get a better understanding of humanity and cognition I can settle for just getting a sense of what all the parts do and how them doing that might cause humans to work, but if i'm gonna create AI I gotta understand exactly how all the parts work if I am to ever hope to be able to replicate it, so in a sense my current favorite parts of the brain are the parts I know the least about.  Those parts are the frontal lobe and memory(which isn't so much an area as a function).  I got this feeling I might be able to create a working memory engine with the ideas I already have that even if they aren't how the human brain works, I think will serve their purpose.  The frontal lobe I know next to nothing about.  I know about as much about it as wikipedia does.  Which must mean I'm not understanding a lot.
And as always, these are simply my worthless opinions.

Thank you both with the comment about my eyes... I may have body dysmorphia then.  I'd be satisfied to know humans are supposed to look as greasy, and misshapen as me and the only reason I'm not seeing that in other people is that i'm not looking closely enough, but i haven't gotten close enough to other people to test this.

Well I can put a needle with some thread through and around many objects(including the upper layer of skin) but it might not resemble anything but a car crash once i tighten it.

And the most special place i've been to is between this christmas tree and a box.  I managed to bend my body in such a way that NOBODY suspected that I could fit in that place during that hide and seek match.

I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

My favorite real comercial was Herding Cats, a comercial played during some superbowl.  My favorite fake comercial would probably be located in the movie Crazy People with dudley moore.

Or it could be this:  http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1419635484576739854&q=crunch+sound

Because it is just plain fucked up and I really respect marketing companies when they do something fucked up like this.

What do you do when you need to stimulate your creativity?

How many spiders have you tried to have sex with in the past week?

Read books I disagree with, drink alcohol, drink robitussin, smoke a joint.

That is going from most often and likely to occur to least often and likely to occur, with reading a book i disagree with towering in at over 96% of the usage.

I didnt make any passes at any spiders but they might have made a pass at me, or tried to rape me, im not real sure.

Scientists unveil female robot

August 09, 2006, 17:30

A group of Chinese scientists completed their work last week on a new robot named Miss Rong Cheng. The robot's designers say she is equipped with cutting-edge technology in human-to-robot interaction and responds to human voices.

The robot is designed to look like a woman and it is programmed to speak Mandarin as well as a Sichuan dialect because she will be sent to the Sichuan Science Museum in Chengdu to act as a receptionist and tour guide.

"Our institute has been making great efforts in developing voice recognition system for many years ... Meanwhile, the voice recognition function can make the communication between humans and robots more natural and personal, which highlights the progress we have achieved in making our robots more human-like", Yue Hongqiang, the robot's designer, said.

Robot to be sold to hotels, entertainment outlets
The cost of this project is $37 500 and besides dancing and greeting, the 168cm, 60kg "beauty" responds to 500 to 1 000 commands in Mandarin. It took around a year for the scientists to finish this first human simulation robot in China.

The designers hope to sell the robots next year to customers such as hotels and entertainment outlets. The most advanced robot in the world is sleek-looking Asimo, produced by Japanese auto-maker Honda. Asimo, who can walk at a speed of one mile per hour and climb up and down stairs, costs roughly $1 million. - Reuters
