Omni Brain

An exploration of the serious/fun/ridiculous - past/present/future of the brain and the science that loves it.

The Homunculus

steve_icon_medium.jpgThe Omnibrain is a psychology graduate student at an online university. He hopes that the three weeks and $29.95 that he is spending on his Ph.D. will get him a job at a Tier 1 research university. Do online universities have postdocs? Ok...just kidding, The Omnibrain is a real graduate student at a real school somewhere in the continental United States - or maybe Europe.

Omni Brain Disclaimer - We are not qualified for anything

Category: Food
Posted on: August 28, 2007 10:51 PM, by The Omnibrain

It seems that people have been taking this blog entirely too seriously and using it for medical advice. We have had reports of various monkey business occurring in response to many of our posts. This has included but isn't limited to people inserting pencils in their brains

(yes this was our fault and is part of the reason I am in the witness protection program), as well as people inserting bottles in their rectums.

So just to be clear... if you read Omni Brain please stop sticking things up, in, or through your various orifices.



Also it seems that psychiatric patients have been using this blog for the purpose of therapy. When we mention something like "confront the things that caused you pain in your childhood." it does not mean that you should stick anything up your rectum or into your nose. This will not help you get over the time when you pooped your pants on a field trip or sneezed all over the persons face you had a crush on. I promise you that...

Actually the only therapy Omni Brain endorses is this:

By the way... this disclaimer applies to Shelley over at Retrospectacle as well... Look at what she made some poor guy do!

So onto the actual disclaimer...

The authors are not physicians, psychologists, therapists, sociologists or even remotely funny. The content on this website does not, and is not intended to constitute medical or life advice. It should not be relied upon when making medical (or any) decisions. It is not intended as a substitute for advice from your physician, healthcare provider, any anti-psychiatry crank, PETA member, religious figure, AIDS denialist, Holcaust Denier, Scientologist or really any crank at all.

How about jamming things into your cerebellum via the eye?

Hey, I didn't *make* him do that. Right before he slipped into unconsciousness he assured me that I had nothing to do with it.
