(grin)

It's a bit like, a long term educational process in a way.
A person just can not trust in their sensories.
It reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode i saw once, about a space flight simulator in a fair ground.
Delusion becomes normal and only the insane can truly see (wild_cackle.png).

Notice the way in which people who over train, such as athletes, can become so sensitive to illness. Like, distance runners and Multiple Sclerosis events. I'm thinking here specifically, of the .au runner 'Betty Cuthbert'.

Incidently, i smoke, and currently have a very worrying throat situation developing at the moment (damn it).

I think habit will often tend to over-ride sense, which just goes to display its' power.

I wonder, does this somehow relate to MS's currently ongoing 'Lets do something nice for the 3rd worlds kids' initiative

hmmm, time for another ciggy, i </cough> think.

Well, maybe the smoke helps to kill off bacteria

Might not be so far fetched. People who quit smoking often get mouth ulcers for the first few weeks (I had a couple). Apparently this is because all the crap in smoke 'sterilises' your mouth, so when you kick the habit, your mouth becomes a much more fertile environment...

I've never heard of anyone's teeth rotting because they stopped smoking - you must have been a really heavy smoker to kill off all the bacteria in your mouth

On Sunday, it'll be exactly one year since I stopped smoking. To celebrate the consequent rapid erosion of my untarred and unprotected wisdom teeth, I had them all removed last Saturday.

Isn't this the point where someone pops up and says that you only get ten years for murder?
