Your brain in a jar

Freefaller · 27 Jul 2017 at 08:07

As tempting as it is, I'd rather embrace death and get some rest.

It's glass and jar shaped. Take it or leave it. Remember though, glass is brittle so you might want to consider a tin.

But then I wouldn't be connected to the outside world, it's the brain equivalent of being buried alive.

If I was in a tin I'd need to fit exterior view screens, and it probably wouldn't be comfortable so I'd need a brain chair of some description, also I'd need life support to ensure that the water self cleaned as the risk of rust is higher. Because people won't be able to see in I'd also need some kind of defence system to stop anybody from assuming that I'm an industrial sized can of beans, also propulsion would be useful to move to higher shelves just in case the laser cannons failed. I'd effectively be a brain flying around in a very small, tin shaped star destroyer.....I'll take the tin.

I would probably take that option now if offered

Clearly you've thought this through. If you send me your address, I'll come around, take you down, and place your brain in a tin with Perspex windows (even though it's pointless because a brain doesn't have eyes) and I'll ensure life support, and a steady supply of nutrients to keep you going. I'll then have sexy time with your partner/significant other, empty your bank account and etch the word "Flibble" on the bonnet of your car. Finally, as a bonus, I'll take out Germaine Greer, Katie Hopkins and then walk naked through the streets of Aberdeen. I sincerely hope this meets with your approval. PS this deal comes with one ear and a rudimentary mouth, all free of charge.

i don't follow your logic. a brain doesn't have eyes so what does it matter if you're in glass or tin? it's in bone at the minute.

Did someone say Jar?

Did someone link to one of the most annoying fictitious character's in movie history? Here's another that gets my goat.

I love the Simpsons, but Lisa really annoys me. I wish they'd kill her off.

Almost worth it for Germaine Greer.

When you're responding to a flippant post in a thread asking whether people would want their brain preserved in a glass jar with "I don't follow your logic" you're probably missing the point.

Yeah, as long as somehow I could still access the internet and ****-post on OCUK.

I'm 100% for jarring it up.

There's already a range of bodies without brains posting, so why not?

the fact you replied to my post whining about missing a point is hysterical.

In fairness your failed attempt at a 'cool and witty' comeback is a tad more hysterical. I'd give it about 2/10 on the GD scale.

Calm down sugar, it wasn't a whine, it was another flippant comment.

Having been on loads of different forums over the years - I have come to the conclusion there are many people who already have their brains in a jar.

Some of them should have the jar smashed and life support switched off. :rolleyes:
