« SuperMegaSpeed Reviews | Main | Really? » Mere Thinking Becoming Too ChallengingA study of patients in Hong Kong and Taiwan concluded that playing mahjong can induce seizures. They concluded that mahjong-induced epilepsy is a specific condition -- not the result of the stress or exhaustion associated with the game. Thinking and reasoning are clearly bad for your health. It's a good thing more and more people everyday stop doing it. That said, who's up for some mahjong? The hospital's not that far from our house. By min | August 6, 2007, 12:47 PM | Science Commentshm. maybe this is why I never win. I just rely on luck to do well. Course the lack of thinking apparently is saving me from having a seizure. how come old people all over asia aren't just having seizures all the time? you'd think from all those people playing, they'd have done this study years ago. my great grandmother never had seizures and she was fantastic at MJ. she could determine what pieces were likely to come up and figure out what pieces you prolly had. Did it ever occur to them to test the IQ's of the people playing and having the seizures? I think it might be that some people short out because they can't think that hard. Kind of like pushing your four cylinder Ford Pinto into an off-roading competition with bad tires and worn out shock absorbers on a quater tank of gas. |
