Here's a wierd thing you probably didn't know

Anton–Babinski syndrome

Anton–Babinski syndrome, also known as visual anosognosia, is a rare symptom of brain damage
occurring in the occipital lobe. Those who suffer from it are "cortically blind", but affirm, often quite
adamantly and in the face of clear evidence of their blindness, that they are capable of seeing. Failing
to accept being blind, the sufferer dismisses evidence of their condition and employs confabulation
to fill in the missing sensory input. It is named after Gabriel Anton and Joseph Babinski.

The sudden development of bilateral occipital dysfunction is likely to produce transient
physical and psychical effects in which mental confusion may be prominent. It may be
some days before the relatives, or the nursing staff, stumble onto the fact that the patient
has actually become sightless. This is not only because the patient ordinarily does not
volunteer the information that they have become blind, but he furthermore misleads his
entourage by behaving and talking as though they were sighted. Attention is aroused
however when the patient is found to collide with pieces of furniture, to fall over
objects, and to experience difficulty in finding his way around. They may try to walk
through a wall or through a closed door on his way from one room to another. Suspicion
is still further alerted when they begin to describe people and objects around them
which, as a matter of fact, are not there at all.
Thus we have the twin symptoms of anosognosia (or lack of awareness of defect) and
confabulation, the latter affecting both speech and behaviour.

 

FFS Dev, who did the tags! About time this place had a bit of controversy and, in the absence of rape threads, I really feel like Taggergate is what we've all been waiting for.

Edit: just read your OP, no idea if it is relevant to Taggergate. Let's hope so - RELEASE THE NAME @Minxy @MalteseMick KEVIN @brb

 

*didn't

 

Poor Donald Pleasence just wanted to escape with his mates.

 

Here's a new case for you to investigate, Dev. I listened to this podcast over the weekend.

The guy claims that there was no Zodiac Killer. He says it suited the police and the press to have the public think that there was a serial killer on the loose but, in fact, the deaths are unrelated and mostly part of a drugs turf war. He out and out calls Graysmith, the author of the book used as the source for the movie, a liar and opportunist.

 

I would say Eddie would be much better than Dev at investigating that.

 

Possibly. They do a Maddie one as well.

 

First of all, can we investigate the OP and what Dev is actually on about?

 

Waiting on Mick to tell me, I suspect it's a dormant account set up by the idiot for the explicit purpose of trolling. Probably no chance of finding out who's behind them in truth.

 

Tags don't lie vvv

 

Agree.

 

Only a select few can.

 

I can

@Minxy can you let me know who is doing the inflammatory tagging?

 

Upwards delegation.

 

Barrie = tagmeister, Barrie + Prosecco = bad tags, Barrie hides IP address then goes tag crazy, Barrie in tag assault on OAP, Barrie chortled as he typed nasty words, Barrie was erect at thought of Dev upset, Baz unrepentantly typed abuse after losing at FIFA, Barrie used throwaway account to bully dev, Barrie spunked in pants as dev wept
