chess head's brain explodes duaring match!

MOSCOW -- Doctors are blaming a rare electrical imbalance in
the brain for the bizarre death of a chess player whose head literally exploded
in the middle of a championship game!



No one else was hurt in the fatal explosion but four players and three
officials at the Moscow Candidate Masters' Chess Championships were sprayed with
blood and brain matter when Nikolai Titov's head suddenly blew apart. Experts
say he suffered from a condition called Hyper-Cerebral Electrosis or HCE.

He was deep in concentration with his eyes focused on the board, says
Titov's opponent, Vladimir Dobrynin. All of a sudden his hands flew to his
temples and he screamed in pain. Everyone looked up from their games, startled
by the noise. Then, as if someone had put a bomb in his cranium, his head popped
like a firecracker.



Incredibly, Titiov's is not the first case in which a person's head has
spontaneously exploded. Five people are known to have died of HCE in
the last 25 years. The most recent death occurred just three years ago in 1991,
when European psychic Barbara Nicole's skull burst. Miss Nicole's story was
reported by newspapers worldwide, including WWN. HCE is an extremely
rare physical imbalance, said Dr. Anatoly Martinenko, famed neurologist and
expert on the human brain who did the autopsy on the brilliant chess expert. It
is a condition in which the circuits of the brain become overloaded by the
body's own electricity. The explosions happen during periods of intense mental
activity when lots of current is surging through the brain. Victims are highly
intelligent people with great powers of concentration. Both Miss Nicole and Mr.
Titov were intense people who tended to keep those cerebral circuits overloaded.
In a way it could be said they were literally too smart for their own good.



Although Dr. Martinenko says there are probably many undiagnosed cases, he
hastens to add that very few people will die from HCE. Most people who
have it will never know. At this point, medical science still doesn't know much
about HCE. And since fatalities are so rare it will probably be years
before research money becomes available.



In the meantime, the doctor urges people to take it easy and not think too
hard for long periods of time. Take frequent relaxation breaks when you're
doing things that take lots of mental focus, he recommends.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Although HCE is very rare, it can kill. Dr. Martinenko says knowing
you have the condition can greatly improve your odds of surviving it. A yes
answer to any three of the following seven questions could mean that you have
HCE:





1.Does your head sometimes ache when you think too hard? (Head pain can
indicate overloaded brain circuits.)

2.Do you ever hear a faint ringing or humming sound in your ears? (It could
be the sound of electricity in the skull cavity.)

3.Do you sometimes find yourself unable to get a thought out of your head?
(This is a possible sign of too much electrical activity in the cerebral
cortex.)

4.Do you spend more than five hours a day reading, balancing your checkbook,
or other thoughtful activity? (A common symptom of HCE is a tendency
to over-use the brain.)

5.When you get angry or frustrated do you feel pressure in your temples?
(Friends of people who died of HCE say the victims often complained
of head pressure in times of strong emotion.)

6.Do you ever overeat on ice cream, doughnuts and other sweets? (A craving
for sugar is typical of people with too much electrical pressure in the
cranium.)

7.Do you tend to analyze yourself too much? (HCE sufferers are
often introspective, over-thinking their lives.)

Perhaps an example of my own idiocy...but....is this true?

Ever since I heard about spontaneous human combustion, I have been obsessed with it, scared to death that I would burst into flame. I have finally gotten to the point where I don't feel the need to sleep in a bathtub full of water. Now I see that I have every symptom of HCE. I imagine I will be sleeping with my head in a bucket of water from now on.......

LOL, that won't save you, you need to ground yourself, perhaps you should contact your local electrical supplier for advice 😉😛
