Comment Re:Not the only state with this law (Score 1) 670

I got questioned by a curious cop who didn't like the looks of us. We had tools in the back, because my buddy works for a gym fixing hot-tubs and equipment. The cop didn't believe us that the tools were for his job. He also didn't believe us that we were parked on the side of the road to go jogging. We were wearing jeans and sweatshirts. Eventually he couldn't find anything specifically wrong with the situation and let us go. Being two white kids from an upscale neighborhood had something to do with that.

We were lucky that he didn't notice that we had taken down the 'OVER TWO TONS GROSS WEIGHT FORBIDDEN' sign and put it face down in the back of the car. We took it to hang it over the girl's dorm entrance.

To deal with damaged and missing limbs, damaged and misconfigured perception systems, and misformed bodies.
We aren't hard wired to have fingertips x centimeters away from the spine, etc. Our brains adapt to our physical circumstances. That permits us to 'hack' the system and have the brain perceive lots of different configurations. It will prove very useful in the future for technology enhanced perceptions.

Doesn't prove a 'soul'.
