This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That's the problem with anecdotal evidence. You can always find that one person who fulfills the criteria but who's outcome doesn't match.

Of course you can be fine afterwards. But there's a considerable risk that you're not, and experiencing symptoms of a traumatic head injury does warrant a visit to the hospital.

Of course I visited the hospital for a CT scan.

Of course I'm not telling you to hit your head for fun.

This is just a fun story, not evidence for anything.

People have survived failed parachutes. Doesn't mean we can all be Alex Mercer.
