Subject: RE: BS: Ghastly
SRS, a week or two ago there was a documentary on PBS called 'Hidden Treaures' on Turkey. In passing, they mentioned that during that activity the whirling dervishes go into a trancelike state.

It's not surprising, I suppose, given the dizziness they must be feeling.

I have a question: Does anyone know if dizziness has an upper limit? In other words, does the brain reach that limit and no farther?

Does it take the brain approximately the same amount of time to recuperate from 20 minute dizziness as from three-minute dizziness?

I remember the fascination with dizziness that a kid feels - why do we get over it?

Hmmmph. I realize that it sounds like I've been drinking. Think I'll go open a bottle of wine. :)
