Wouldn't it be a kick if it talked?

If you quickly supply an air hose, he might ba able to... gotta slice
below the vocal cords, however.

That is possible. State law here only requires that a picture be
'provocative' in order to be classified as child pornography. So
what, exactly, IS provocative? What I consider 'cute' may be
'provocative' to someone else. The classic nude baby on the bearskin
rug is DEFINITELY illegal here. sigh.


Following some notorious cases like the lady down in Texas a couple
years ago, I would expect (or hope) that law enforcement are standing
back and giving it a re-think.


At one point, the hysteria reached the point where the legislature
passed a law that made it illegal to change a baby's diaper, bathe them,
or even to breast-feed!! That one didn't last long!

In the case of guillotine executions, they simply observed the person's
head. He couldn't speak, but he turn his eyes to look at someone
speaking to him.

That doesn't necessarily imply consciousness. The same works with
people dreaming in REM sleep, though their eyelids are closed.
I don't think 18th century medical research on consciousness is
going to be all that reliable. I'll grant that brain activity
won't stop instantly, but doubt it involves consciousness.

It couldn't talk as that requires air from the lungs (which it no longer
has contact with), and the voicebox is likely to have been severed as well.

The massive shock applied to the central nervous system (by
chopping the cord in half, as well as the instant drop in
blood pressure to the "sensors" that make you unconscious would
render you blacked out almost instantly. Surely.

A heck of a trick. Maybe some american states could be convinced
to return to the guillotine and we'll find out.

I would hope so. That's absolutely disgusting. A bearskin rug,
how gruesome.

"Oh boy mr. bear, if my wife finds out..."



I have one of those ridiculous photos (of me) hidden behind a bunch of stuff
on a shelf where no-one can see it (it was shot around 1946)... That picture
HAUNTED me for the first 18 years of my life.

Why would anybody put their kid out naked on a Bearskin... For that matter,
why would anybody other than an Eskimo skin a Polar Bear (thats the kind of
skin I was plopped on)
