Termyn8or -> RE: "Dead" man wakes up under autopsy knife (9/23/2007 6:31:43 AM)

As rarely as I do this, here goes again.
This reminds me of an old movie. Micheal Keaton maybe ? short guy. Well he goes to one of those island minicountries in south America or something and interviews a witch doc. He stole a vial of stuff and pissed the doc off.
He was given a drug and buried alive, but just to teach him a lesson, they dug him up after while. He did however, keep the vial. (somehow) At the end of the movie the text said that it was based on a true story, and that he had gotten a vial of the stuff and brought it back. It was named Zombinol.
Whatever this shit does, it makes you look dead, but you are totally aware of everything. It stops all voluntary movement, and must decrease the brain's need for oxygen because the victim does not appear to be breathing. If anyone knows the name of that movie I would like to know. I'll have to see if I can download it. Very little media can hold my attention, but this movie did it.
On another related note, who all knows what "saved by the bell" really means ?
In the past, perhaps 100 years ago or something, they had to move some graves and they found evidence that some people had been buried alive. Thus came the practice of having a hole in the coffin and a string which would ring a bell up on the ground. The person would then be dug up, thus being saved by the bell.
And even more bizarre, shoot me in the head to make sure I am dead is interesting, but I actually have been shot in the head. I type pretty giood for being dead huh ?
The bullet got deflected by my bone structure and lodged itself in my neck, too close to the spinal cord to try to remove. I get a stiff neck once in a while but have otherwise recovered completely.
I thought I had been hit in the face with a bat or something when I came to, however, thinking back, if they had discovered me during the time I was unconcious, I might well have awoken in the morgue. After all there was a bullet hole about ½" under my left eye. What assumption would you make ? But then I was probably breathing so maybe I wouldn't have that problem.
They say your brain dies after a few minutes of not getting oxygen, but many Men have apnea, which is when they stop breathing while sleeping. I have literally woken up in the middle of the night and thought to myself "What is missing here ? ". I was not breathing. Of course I figured it out in time. It was like "Oh yeah, that". That was even stranger than getting shot. I literally forgot to breathe, and while with apnea this happens with the person sleeping, it is another story to be awake and need to take a second to figure out that you have to breathe. It was very strange.
So if anyone sees me laying in the street apparently dead, cut my head off, shooting doesn't always work, and I guess you can't really go by whether I am breathing or not.
I am 47 and have become intrigued with death. I no longer fear it, I consider it a new experience, but I certainly would not want to wake up in a coffin or a cremation oven. I want to be cremated, at least you are dead for sure, what do you get, a few milliseconds before it kills you ? In a coffin you suffocate. I prefer a quick death.
Strangely, with zombinol you do not suffocate. Somehow the brain's need for oxygen is diminished. I think there are certain states in which this happens, one of them is sleep I guess. I've heard that guys with apnea scare the living shit out of their Wives sometimes because they stop breathing for quite a while.
We all kniow life is a trip, maybe death is too.
