Come on, Bahooka. Stop being so mysterious. What animal did that brain come from, and how do you plan on preparing it for a meal? We all know you're gonna eat it.
It looks too small and neat, to be human Is it a lamb, or goats brain? "Enquiring minds want to know"
Contained within that blob of neurons was the entire personality, memory, behavior patterns--the whole experience of living-- of a whitetail buck. I wonder if he went to heaven... Oh wait, nope. He's inside a plastic Kroger bag.
Yep. Its whole reality was enclosed in a lump of fleshy tissue. Such tragic comedy. Check this out btw: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_naturalism Explains quite a lot without going down the mystical path.
I totally get the OP and the title now. Well played. Gotta stop thinking about it before I mindfuck myself too much.
That's just the souls receptionist.. the true soul is in the nervous system that sends the data to that lump of fat.

The brain is a physical instrument which allows us to be conscious in the way we are with these bodies. Otherwise, your brain is not you.
It makes you wonder... If you could reattach that brain to something, somehow turn it back on, would all the memories and personalities it came from still be there?
