Brain cells decline inverse to increase in post count

Studies show that the longer you sit on a forum and post, the more brain cells you lose, by the thousands each day. (more with other factors added in). Therefore I suggest by this the theory that a higher post count means more exposure to bad things and thus fewer brain cells than the non participating population.

To be honest, I doubt it changes at all. Some people leave the forums just as dense as they were when they entered :p

American NFL helmets don't add that much more protection than rugby players get. Ah, so yes, there are a lot of other factors, but rarely do people get a chance to demonstrate the perceived effects of varying brain cell counts as they do on a forum.

Does the fact that I retired my high-post count nation and started afresh mean I get a new brain?

The study did not test this scenario. Maybe if they had another grant from the government they would have.

Sounds like a damn good way to spend my taxes. However I concede that my reasoning may just have been impaired by long-term exposure to NS General.

Though the study's first purpose was to scare people away from a forum based lifestyle, I do believe their second purpose was to gain more money to prolong their current jobs. Such as we always suspect.

It's kinda like the inverse ninja squared law.
I shall dub it THE INVERSE POST SQUARED LAW
As followed:
(1/#post^2)x100=% #braincells

Just two characters? You either have a very small and pointy head or a very large keyboard.

EDIT: test head to keyboard smash:

As long as no one manages to produce an actual word by smashing their head against the keyboard, I guess we aren't strictly falling foul of the dread 'No word games' rule.

People...we are smashing our heads into the keyboard...thereby proving that our inteligence decreases with each succesive post...

Are we certain this is for the best?

Brain cells decline inverse to increase in post count

Correct me if I'm wrong here but this means that our brain cells decline more and more slowly the more we post, no?

Brain cells are weak. You put your shoes on wrong, and you lose brain cells. Bah! Who needs em?!?

Anyhow, is it just me having a problem with the title of this thread saying the opposite to what the OP apparently meant to say?

Meh. I don't believe this stuff. I'd probably lose more brain cells from the occasional bumps I have.

The origin of my nation name is fist-to-keyboard, which is kind of like head-to-keyboard, but less destructive.

Cool, mine just comes from a name someone said my business would be called when I become Bill Gates biggest competitor in computer design. Comes from part of my last name.
