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:winkwink:
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 :error :(
But I really didn't care too much, because I just realised that I was in fact in A COMA :uhoh :Hollering :Hollering
