A thought experiment

[Olofelefant]

You wake up in a bed, hungover. You look around you, and notice you do not recognise this room, or the bed you are sleeping in. You feel something wet on your arm. You look around, and to your horror you see a medula oblongata residing there, beside you on the bed. How do you react?

 

[Queen Michael]

I start hyperventilating and pulling my arm out slowly.

 

[staika]

A what? *googles* A part of a brain!?!?!?!

I pull my arm back so fast I launch myself out of the bed and then run out of the house as fast as I can!

 

[Magicmad5511]

That must have been a good party last night. I hope that's not my brain stem.

 

[Raijha]

First thought is, erm, why is there a part of a brain on my arm?

Second thought it....damn, its squishy and slimy

Third thought, where am i?

First action, remove arm from under brain.

????

Panic!

 

[SD-Fiend]

probably die whilst holding up a sign that says something funny about my situation.

 

[JustOrdinary]

First thought: Is it in any good condition?

 

[TheIronRuler]

I'd just try to go back to sleep, assuming I'll wake up from the dream in a few moments.
Then I'd wet myself.

 

[Rawne1980]

The same thing i'd do in the other thread you made exactly the same as this one.

I'd wonder what the hell i'd been drinking and where I could get some more of it.

 

[Heronblade]

Start investigating my surroundings, looking for a threat, a weapon I can use, and/or a way out. I never get intoxicated, period, meaning someone almost certainly drugged me and dragged me there. The presence of a brain stem doesn't bode well for the sanity of that individual either.

 

[FrostyChick]

I put the brain in a Tupperware container to take home to eat later.
Then I finish the rest of my meal, clean up the place and head home.

 

[Piecewise]

Probably start by saying "Wait, I don't drink."

Then, probably wonder how I know what a mendula oblongata looks like.

 

[Fraulein]

I put the brain in a Tupperware container to take home to eat later.
Then I finish the rest of my meal, clean up the place and head home.

My thoughts exactly. Fry it up, slap it between two slices of bread et viola, hangover cure.

 

[Quaxar]

Happened to me last night, it's not as bad as it sounds. Liquor can be washed out of clothes with next to no problems. And there's extra stuff for possible blood.
The worst part is writing the hostel review without sounding bitchy.

 

[RobCoxxy]

If that's mine, I guess I just dribble onto the pillow.

 

[FFHAuthor]

Probably shrug and remember I've woken up in worse situations than this.

 

[Hipsy_Gypsy]

I don't get hangovers, haha. Though I do tend to drink water before I go to bed after so unless I forgot in this instance. Or drank a bit too much or... maybe it was spiked. I'd be a bit worried at this point.
The wet... what now?

A what? *googles* A part of a brain!?!?!?!

I pull my arm back so fast I launch myself out of the bed and then run out of the house as fast as I can!

Probably this, almost exactly, though I'd probably freeze in horror to stare at it first.

Either that or overall:

That must have been a good party last night. I hope that's not my brain stem.

Then I'd procede to get away. Probably slowly. Then I'd break into a sprint once I left the building, provided I'm capable of it considering my current condition! Otherwise:

If that's mine, I guess I just dribble onto the pillow.

If I'm hungover, then I've actually started drinking, so I might actually have a phone at that point. If so, I would be like "woah, a medula oblongata!" and then I'd google it on my phone, and be like "holy crap, a part of a brain!" and then I'd realise that I should of done those two reactions in the opposite order, and reminisce about my sanity, and I'd totally forget about the medula oblongata...

 

[ShindoL Shill]

remove hand, back off, and look around for the altar to Cthulu and bottle of Jack Dan- wait no, its NOT my room. okay, i'll just run like shit.

If that's mine, I guess I just dribble onto the pillow.

i'm assuming its not yours.

 

[let's rock]

The simple answer is go get a deap frier, take the brain segment off my arm, and put some chicken in the deep frier because I'm hungry. and while it's fring try to determine who's brain segment it is and how it got there
