Actually, he had a headache, and so asked Hephaestus, i think it was, to split his head open with an axe (as you do)

And Pallas Athene popped out in full ceremonial wargear, yelling warcries at the top of her lungs.

Hell of a baby shower.

Actually, way back in the day, when they had a headache, they did drill holes into the skull to allow the "evil spirits" to escape.

And the trepanning patients survived...

One particular skull had three holes...

Gotta wonder did they just get lucky,
or know what they were doing.

You can remove a fairly large portion of the brain without killing someone, they were doing labotomnies for years before people really understood how the brain worked. Frag if we want to get really stupid: Terry Schvio (sp?) had virtually no brain and she was still (technically) alive.

Hell, they were doing through-the-skull lobotomies to the dead center of the frontal lobe. I guess using so little of our brains is a human survival mechanism? :lol:
