From the Schiavo thread, in which lekatt is, well, lekatt: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=557330&page=5](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=557330&page=5) Lekatt, just because you believe that you are thinking without having a brain does not mean that Schiavo could think without having a brain. The simple fact is that despite the remarkably poor functioning of your brain, you do have a brain. Since you doubt this, you should get a brain scan done and have someone explain the results to you. Until you do this, you’ll just have to trust me – you really do have a brain despite the symptoms that indicate otherwise. ---

Don’t mean to rain on your parade, but **lekatt** never comes here, so he won’t see the thread. Well-deserved Pitting though. I was tempted to start one myself, on the strength of his whiny bullshit about _dissenting opinions aren’t tolerated on the Dope_. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: OW! MY EYES! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: But I was afraid **ivn1188** would report the thread as unsuitable for the Pit. 😃 😛 ---

It could be coming from the brain having been produced there, or it could be coming from an outside source to the brain where it is measured. So are lekatt’s thoughts made by his brainless body, or are the emanating from some other brain eating zombie’s digestive tract? ---

On the basis of long-distance seat-of-the-pants diagnosis (which featured prominently in the Schiavo case), it seems likely that **lekatt** has a normal-sized brain. The cortical segment that involves extreme credulousness and love of the supernatural has, however hypertrophied to an alarming degree resulting in atrophy of remaining sectors. I have established a foundation to study this phenomenon, and donations are welcome (checks should be made out to the Babbling Lekattosis Research Foundation, **Jackmannnii** , Treasurer). ---

Pitting **lekatt** is like pitting a brick wall with a poster on it. He doesn’t listen, he doesn’t learn, and his message is always the same. He is immune to logic, facts, and explanation, because his first premise in anything is ‘I’m right.’, and the second one is ‘They’re all wrong.’ The only thing we can do is to continue to point out how wrong he is lest some poor naive innocent read his drivel and take it to heart. ---

Lekatt is well aware he has a brain. He just thinks he doesn’t use it. I agree with him. ---

Isn’t Lekatt the person who believes in all sorts of ridiculous supernatural things despite being on a message board whose goal is to rid the world of ignorance? ---
