[my body's] job is to support my head, and it does a fine job. Other than that, it generally gets in the way.

I feel much the same way about my own body... I've often thought I should be in one of those 50s era science fiction movies where they extract the brain and have it go on living independently of the body. With chronic backaches and knee problems (probably caused in part, according to my doctor, by my weight! At 155 and 5'8" I'm hardly plump, but 30 of those pounds materialized in the space of 2 year--almost 25% more weight than my body had ever supported in its life.)

At the same time, I would like to cover this woman's mouth with duck tape and give her the heimlich, so that the wooden things pop out and fly across the room, because that would be funny.

Your thoughts?

You're cruel. I can only imagine what you'd say about those women from Burma(?) with the compressed shoulders and the rings around their necks. You'd probably have a desire to use their neck coils as electromagnets or something.

Still.. If you do it and you need somebody along to take pictures....
