Fun facts

Your body paralyzes itself when you sleep to keep you from acting out your dreams.  However, it is possible to wake up while still paralyzed; many people who have experienced this claim they felt a malevolent presence nearby.  This is where most alien encounter stories come from.

You can't suck or lick your reproductive sytem. Maybe if you have a flexible body you can.

Fun fact

65 billion neutrinos, pass through every one square centimeter of Earth, every second,

So multiply that out and you can see quite a few more are actually passing through your body right now.

It's true,  how do you feel about that......

Are you talking about sleep paralysis?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis
I've heard that this is also a possible "side effect" when you try lucid dreaming. Although it lasts only a short amount of time, it is very uncomfortable.

I've also heard that one should not look at a mirror while in such a dream?

While in a lucid dream? I don't remember ever trying to do so myself, but supposedly, the only problem with looking at a mirror while dreaming is you won't necessarily see yourself, but rather, a distorted image of yourself, which may startle you (and lead you to either waking up, or falling into a normal dream).

As for sleep paralyses, in some cases (particularly when pathology is involved), it may apparently last quite longer than "a short amount of time": https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=965301.

Well yes, while in a lucid dream. What if you see your face melting or something? Your brain wouldn't handle that nicely. You wake up bit a bit terrified indeed.
That's quite interesting. I've never experienced one myself I believe. Has the exact cause of this been identified?

Christians want you to believe that a 600 year old man kept 15,000,000 animals on a ship for 400 days without food and water.   

Atheist alert.

Just curious, how to do lucid dreaming?

Here's what really happened: Several billion years ago, all the mass currently in the universe was contained inside a particle smaller than an atom, than ... KABOOB!

Nonsense.  It was a joke - the purpose of this thread.

Actually, bigasic played a joke on Vod: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1045937.msg11371899#msg11371899. And, I believe I just fucked up Curtis' movie contract deal.
