If you prick your finger then it hurts there, not in your brain, but the brain is the actual site of the pain impulse. Its a survival trait called transposition where your brain projects the pain back into the finger so you'll go "Hey, My finger hurts. I had better see whats going on with it" rather than having to check your entire body for where the pain impulse came from. To a lesser extent this is why you'll feel joy in your heart or weak in the knees, but I think things like that are more of a cultural adaptation of the biological function. For the most part thinking from somewhere other than the head would be counterproductive from a survival point of view, but with practice it might be done. Its like Voodoo, so I can't imagine why someone would want to toy with it tho.

i understand that explanation wholly, actually. i took a psych clas syears ago, so i know what all that is about.

it's the stupid thought itself that bothers me. it's dumb. what the fuck?

it's like, what would the thought feel like if i *heard* it in my pinky finger? does that make sense? and yes, it would be counterproductive. but hey, what can you expect with waking up at 4 in the morning and what not? my brain is nothing but fizzle.

You CAN hear through your pinky. And here's how you, and you at home can do it. Get a cardboard box, some egg crates, scissors, tape and a big bass speaker. First, cut a hole in the box the size of your pinky finger, or get a grown up to help if you can't use scissors. Now line the entire box with egg crate and put the speaker inside. Play something bassy on the speaker, Enter Sandman works nicely, and there you have it, a home made male vibrator... God damn it, why do all my science projects turn out erotic?
