Question

Hole in the head. Does it give you powers like in the film "Scanners"?

Answer 1

A hole in the brain is far more affective, if you don't mind going a bit stupid and become subject to some loss of self control. A hole in the head would simply hurt a lot. The brain damage could also give you a problem with spelling and grammar.

Answer 2

No. See links below.

Answer 3

The hole in the head - or trepanning - was thought to open the brain to supernatural forces and ESP. There is no eveidence to show that it works. (prehistoric skeletons have been found with the skulls trepanned)

Answer 4

only on match days

Answer 5

Depends if it is a hole from a needle or a hole from a pick axe!

Answer 6

I thought the guy drilled the hole to get the voices out.  So he already had the ability and was trying to get rid of it.

Answer 7

Nope.  That is actually a side effect of brain surgery.

Answer 8

I do not know what the skull is made of.  Scense it was made for a covering of the brain...it must be pretty good.  I wonder if it contains a sustaining chemical of sorts?

A hole in the head gives more room for swelling in the event of getting hit in the head.

Answer 9

Sorry love, someone tricked you.

Answer 10

if it was put here by a 357 magnum there is little left of your head to have any kind of power. Scanners is just a film -See fiction!

Answer 11

i don't think so but apparently many used to think so. i even saw a show once where a woman in the 1970's i think did this to herself.  i can't remember much else about the show.

Answer 12

...about as much powers as the hole in your backside gives you.  At least with that you can clear a room!

Answer 13

No.

Answer 14

yeh, it gives you the power to bleed profusely from a hole in your head
