Head games
NPR does a feature asking a neurologist about the effects on the brain from hanging upside down for 30 minutes -- as some people did at a broken ride at Magic Springs last weekend.

Yeah...skip the neurology-ist-people...
That would suck, man...
If I were upside down for a half hour I'd make a mess of things...
M.S. needs to do some damage control...

Back in the eighties upside down machines for the home were the rage. It was claimed that hanging upside down at least 20 minutes per day lowered blood pressure, and made you look much younger. Of course, the rush of blood to your brain made you smarter. It also stretched your spine into new health, more relaxation, and more flexibility.

We would rather hang upside down for 30 minutes than have to read anymore comments from Ugly Crock Knock. Jiggs Morgan

David Letterman tackled this incident last night for his Top Ten.
"Top Ten Thoughts Going Through These People's Minds":
10) "I never realized how beautiful Hot Springs, Arkansas is upside down"
9) "Well, it's better than flying JetBlue"
8) "Hairpiece glue, don't fail me now"
7) "Why didn't I notice the name of the ride is 'Power Outage'?"
6) "Who's operating this thing, Lindsay Lohan?"
5) "Where's Spider-Man?"
4) "Am I being 'Punk'd?'" -- We know this is an old reference, but it's summer! Watch for all-new jokes this fall
3) "How long before I urp those cheese fries?"
2) "Worst Al Qaeda plot ever"
1) "This isn't as disappointing as the 'Sopranos' finale"

Yikes, the poor ride operator will probably be blamed, even if it isn't really his fault....like Magic Springs did last year.
I've worked there--it's not a pretty sight....
