A Skull Is a Terrible Thing To Waste

Weird:

A French civil servant has been found to have a huge cavity filled with fluid in his head — yet lives a completely normal life. Scans of the man's brain show the huge fluid-filled chamber and the thin sheet of actual brain tissue. ... [T]he man, who works as a civil servant in southern France, has succeeded in living an entirely normal life despite a huge fluid-filled cavity taking up most of the space where his brain should be.

By the way, he works for the tax office. Got puns?

Dude I'm not sending any more Christmas presents.....this stuff writes itself now. Go find a new hobby :-)

Oh, its not a pun but did you ever think that the empty space could be used for storage....tax records, office supplies, the brains of fellow employees etc.!

I know, fish, that one was was too easy.

I can live with your not sending me any more Xmas presents (thank you for the pralines and the monogrammed handkerchiefs, by the way), but please, no audits, OK? ;-)

I think this man's story is a tale of quiet heroism.
Look at all the people today trying to parlay their bad luck/bad choices into a permanent payday, on the theory that this was somebody else's fault, somehow. As a result of which everybody's taxes and insurance are increasing.
And then there's this guy, who quietly got on with his life. Has he made a claim on anybody? Sued anybody? Stood outside the courthouse or the legislature with a sign , screaming that it's society's fault, pay me?

Inside the skull I can't answer for. But from here it looks like he got a good heart.

Actually if his head is truly full of water, it might be a good home for certain vertebrate species of gill breathing blog commenters. A home for fish perhaps. At least it sounds roomy.

Nothing new about this. Our government's in this country are full of empty headed idiots, some don't even have the water.
