@spaceofades: Wasn't Cannondale infatuated enough to try to trademark the word "freeride" as if they invented anything related to it?

Veronika'run was such a great watch, what a warrior!

By now I think it's clear that Levy probably died in a downcountry crash and the PB staff is just covering it up by saying he is "busy eating donuts at the moment" or whatever they can come up with.

If I remember correctly what you've experienced in the mirror is called depersonalization or derealization. An experiment was conducted where people were made to sit behind someone and this person would periodically be touched on the back of their neck while the same tactile stimulus was applied to the subject. At some point, people were identifiying as being the person sitting in front. I believe that the feeling which people experience in some near death experiences regarding "hypertruth" and the sensation that our world isn't as real is all part of the same phenomenon. Many of these sensations could be replicated in various experimental configurations... All in all this shows that consciousness is a very complex topic and the way our brain generates our reality and sensation of self is quite intricate to say the least. Finally, the cumulative effect of brain injuries stacking up on top of each other can trigger a "cliff effect" where the next injury basically make you go from okay (as with all previous head injuries experienced to that point) to a state where even the most basic stuff about yourself you'd take for granted are now threatened... There is still so much to be understood about the brain, we've so far just scratched the surface really.
