    Something really funny about needing a report to work that out.

    “Surprisingly, when you stab someone with a sharp and pointy stick, it hurts quite a bit. Fascinating.”

    Nobody could have predicted this.

      Right?

      Dear scientists, I too dislike being skewered with sharp pointy things. I also dislike getting perforated by sharp stabby things or punctured by fast metal things.

      So we’re clear.

      I’m not sure if it’s some sort of cognitive dissonance or denial, but a lot of people believe for some unknown reason that various animals or other organisms don’t feel pain… even though they react like they obviously do. Lobsters are a good example.
