Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for December 09, 2014

I had a working, miniature guillotine that I built when I was young.

Isn’t having MES another way of saying “a tune stuck in your head”?

How many of them lost fingers in that thing, where was the French product safety people?

People with messier syndrome have been following dogs too closely.

That explains why every time I hear even a tiny fragment of a Justin Bieber “song” (to call it music is a stretch) I taste vomit and garbage!

Thought the guillotine kid was a Garbage Pail Kid!

Dr. Oliver Sacks described two cases of MES. Both got cured with surgery, but one arranged for the option to turn the music on and off in her head at will. Sometimes it was “loud” enough that people had to shout.

As a synesthetic, I kind of associate sounds and flavors, but I never imagined that bit about high and low tones.

Dr Clayton Forrester (of MST3K, natch) once invented a mini guillotine to chop the heads off chocolate bunnies (I know, wrong holiday). The ’bots were horrified.SERVO (crying): What about the pardon for Fannie Farmer!CROW (crying): Yeah, his only crime was being delicious!

So when I hear ethnic music I can taste the foods of that culture. I feel like a burger and malt, so I’ll put on some 50s Rock and Roll !!

Musical ear syndrome is a complex form of tinnitus (ringing in the ears). The brain takes the sound and makes a song from it.

But I don’t think THAT Clayton Forrester invented a mini-guillotine.
