From BBC: It's called trepaning, by the way.

Shut out of mainstream medicine and regarded as drug-fuelled New Age quacks, trepanation advocates - most of whom have drilled through their own skull - spread the word via the Internet.

They claim that freeing the brain of the all-encompassing barrier of the skull increases blood flow, improving concentration and bringing about a state likened to being "permanently high".

Please feel free to log on and discuss other very weird things people do (as long as it's not Xrated--I'll get nauseated. Thanks.)

I've trepanned my dog and child, can't determine if there is any difference except for the fact that they cringe in my presence.

My only question:
Just how did the brains of these idiots manage to leak out prior to drilling?
