Well, I was in the process of suggesting "TassyTit" as a new unit of measurement to the international standards on weights and measure, and during the 10 minute wait during preliminary investigation, I browsed around "what's new" and I learned about the "Glasgow Coma Scale":


The Glasgow Coma Scale provides a score in the range 3-15; patients with scores of 3-8 are usually said to be in a coma. The total score is the sum of the scores in three categories. For adults the scores are as follows:

Eye Opening Response
Spontaneous--open with blinking at baseline 4 points
Opens to verbal command, speech, or shout 3 points
Opens to pain, not applied to face 2 points
None 1 point

Verbal Response
Oriented 5 points
Confused conversation, but able to answer questions 4 points
Inappropriate responses, words discernible 3 points
Incomprehensible speech 2 points
None 1 point

Motor Response
Obeys commands for movement 6 points
Purposeful movement to painful stimulus 5 points
Withdraws from pain 4 points
Abnormal (spastic) flexion, decorticate posture 3 points
Extensor (rigid) response, decerebrate posture 2 points
None 1 point


Bleh, who says you don't learn anything on GFY

Anyway, the bint came back and told me that because Tassy's Tits are asymmetric, then they TassyTit couldn't be considered for a unit as it's not clear which one would be the standard

But I really didn't care too much, because I just realised that I was in fact in A COMA
