| Dancing man wearing a horse mask cooks wild mushrooms. |
 |
UPDATED(2/13)This is possibly the most
disturbing thing I've seen on the Interweb.
I'm sorry for inflicting this upon all of
you.
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Always consult
a mushroom field guide before consuming wild
mushrooms. Eating random wild mushrooms may
result in various side effects, including
DEATH.
The mushroom featured in this video is
Amanita Muscaria, a psychedelic but otherwise
non-deadly mushroom (it might, however, make
you nauseous). Thanks to the hundreds of
mushroom experts that have commented. I am
in your debt.
After a rigorous session of super-sleuthing,
I was able to find out more about this guy.
It seems that he is a performance artist from
Japan that goes by the name of 'wotaken.'
Here's his home page:

| Man without a memory - Clive Wearing [BBC - Time: Daytime] |
 |
This is a cut segment from a larger
documentary on Time titled "BBC - Daytime";
It discusses some of the mysteries of memory
and how time effects our lives.
Clive Wearing has a neurological disorder
called Anterograde Amnesia which is a
condition that doesn't allow new memories to
transfer into long-term memory. This means
that he will never remember anything since
his incident, similarly to the movie Memento.
Clive was an accomplished pianist in the
80s', and fortunately can still play the
piano flawlessly. He only remembers his
wife, and anything else to him is new
information, even if it was presented to him
once before.
There's more information on Clive located
here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clive_Wearing
and more information on anterograde amnesia
here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterograde_amne
sia
If you're interested in this kind of thing,
let me know. I'll be happy to give you more
information. You can email me at
tranceriver@gmail.com.
This is truly a sad condition; I hope your
comments are polite.
