Quote of the Day:
"Strange, that movies about Satan always require Catholics. You never see your Presbyterians or Episcopalians hurling down demons."
Or Baptists, for that matter. We can totally hurl down.
But he's just saying that because he hasn't seen John Piper and R.C. Sproul's new action-drama:

Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder caused by the brains inability to regulate sleep wake cycles normally. At various times throughout the day people with narcolepsy experience fleeting urges to sleep. If the urge becomes overwhelming individuals will fall asleep for periods lasting from a few seconds to several minutes. In rare cases some people may remain asleep for an hour or longer. In addition to excessive daytime sleepiness three other major symptoms frequently characterize narcolepsy: cataplexy, or the sudden loss of voluntary muscle tone; vivid hallucinations during sleep onset or upon awakening; and brief episodes of total paralysis at the beginning or end of sleep. Narcolepsy is not definitively diagnosed in most patients unti l 10 to 15 years after the first symptoms appear. So me or you could have it. The cause of narcolepsy remains unknown. It is likely that narcolepsy involves multiple factors interacting to cause neurological dysfunction and sleep disturbances.
What that basically means is that your brain dosnt know when to sleep and when to be awake so you will fall asleep anywhere. For example you could be in the hall walking and you just fall asleep or on the toliet and fall over with your pants down. And the other syntoms are just lossing control of your mucels and halicunating so that means you will see pink elephants and migets that are migets but they are tall and weird stuff like that and that other thing means you will be paralized for a couple minutes. They also cant really sleep when they want to. There is no cure for Narcolepsy so if you have it you pretty much screwed. People with Narcolepsy are never in a normal state so they are always drowsy no mater what.
Reachers in the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and others like The National Institutes of Health are studying Narcolepsy. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders suggest we go into and study the basis of sleep before we go in the disease. Others are working on some sort of cure.
Narcolepsy is also thought to have conections with REM(rapid eye movment) during sleep. Scientist Austrillia are saying they have discoved a new medicenthat will help suffers of Narcolepsy. The cure only stops sleeping and some halucations. It will be years probly befor it will be pattend and all that great legal stuff.
Some examples of Narcolepsy are the girl from Duce Bigglo Male Jigglo and Mr.Beans charter on the movie rat race. Both of these charters had Narcolepsy. If you ever get Narcolepsy you can basically forget ever having a routine or a stedy job and you can pretty much expect to have to wear a helment everywhere.
But you did mispell 'helmet' in the last sentence. Might want to run the whole thing through Word's spell-check thing. Always remember, Spell-Check is your freind. :)
