To discover if you have been affected, sit in a comfortable chair, raise your right foot and make clockwise circles with it.
While making clockwise circles in the air with your right foot, draw a large number '6' in the air in front of you with your right hand.
If your right foot is now making counter-clockwise circles you have been affected.
The condition is irreversible.
Sounds like you've already been affected Morris. Only wood dust brain damage would account for this particular test. :)
Not really.
It's a design defect in the motor control circuit.
(Which is not to say that wood dust can't hurt you!)
It actually affects the optic nerve, right where the it meets behind the eyes, and usually in the form of an Arterial Venous Malformation, a knotted mass of blood vessels. I had to have mine removed surgically [in 2004].

Worse - it's terminal. The mortality rate is expected to reach 100%. Other symptoms are degradation of vision, forgetfulness, increasing stiffness of the joints, and increasing impatience with stupidity.

and my fingers are too stiff to google it. Or is that a stupid question?

Mind you, he lives in Australia.
Looks like I'm a goner.
I can do it, so I'm not effected. But I'm a drummer, so maybe I need another test. Or maybe that is the proof.
I can do it too, but I'm not the regular drummer.
"You can't really dust for vomit."
which way is clockwise?
Which hemisphere are you in?
Stumpy Pete, is that you?
There was something else that I used to enjoy. Seems like it involved getting a bit frisky with the missus. And then we got all ... involved? somehow. And then... but I forget. Dang.

It isn't Morris alone. The first time in your life you picked up a piece of sandpaper you are on your way to brain loss. I know because I have done tons of sanding in my lifetime. I know because I have done tons of sanding in my lifetime. I think I said that already!

Wow, I'm not affected. Guess I need to go make more dust.
