God let out a slow whistle. Wow! This trouble shooting business was cool. So this is how the brain goes wrong…hmmm! Wonder how it works normally…that would be interesting to know. “So every time the LCD goes blank does it mean blood in the cerebral fluid reservoirs?” Oh no! There are so many other causes…even this bleeding can be due to various types and sites of vessel rupture. There are rivers that have embankments, which may give away suddenly and unleash floods as a regular feature after the machine has lasted a good many years (sometimes I have seen young people die of it though). There's this terrible affliction of the river banks possibly the scourge of modern civilization. All those toxic wastes, which litter the walls of the river pipes along with the high pressure at which the river flows at present are good enough to burst any of them one of these days and then…bing goes the LCD screen.
Not only that, the litter and garbage we keep dumping into those rivers often cause these pipes to get clogged and you have the same effect depending on whether a major pipe is blocked. The pipes are a life line for the brain cells and with their food supplies cut off due to the river block they die and start rotting away, which makes the river toxic.
Then there are times when the meninges covering the brain cells catch fire. These are usually due to bugs, which create havoc with our machines from time to time. However very often it's the fight between the bugs and the immune cells which causes all the fire. A person with meningitis has a burning body and a needle jab on his back to tap the cerebrospinal rivers would bring out a lot of inflammatory cells, a whole array of attacking soldiers. These immune cells are big guns but lousy shots…so much for their nuclear weapons. I sometimes feel they use too much firepower considering the size of their microbial targets but then it can't be helped. Whoever designed these machines was obviously not in his right mind. Going by their chaotic nature, there's an interesting talk about these having evolved spontaneously, like you know…people evolve into communities, villages and cities, expanding across the globe. Then there are occasions when the brain cells start dividing too often and produce too many more cells, all monsters at that, looking awful with their gaudy nuclear hyperchromatism and in general grotesque appearance. They lie accumulated together in one big tumorous community and can be easily spotted as an oddity on the CT head. Like fast growing cities eating into green Earth. Then there are the tape worms that lay eggs which make their way into the brain for spending their larval infancy amongst the brain cells little realizing it's a dead end. They die and cause electrical short circuits in the brain cells and wham! The whole machine goes vibrating and shaking as if hit by a thunderbolt. It's strange that these worms should choose to survive only by seeking shelter in either pigs or humans (who are dead ends for them really) but then even humans couldn't have survived without having infected the body of Earth.
