Alright I just have to put my two cents in. I was watching a
documentary a while back and they were talking about people who had
amputations. Some people have it that they sometimes get cramps in
their "ghost arm" or whatever was amputated. They also did something
where they could take pictures of people's auras. Don't ask how they
did it, I don't know, I just thought it was really funky. They took a
picture of a guy who had his arm amputated's aura and it showed the
guy with a faint glow of his arm, which was in a different position
than his new hooked arm. So if the body can remember the arm, can the
arm remember the body. I guess I didn't help the subject very
much...I'll just shut up now...
