LOL, soz...
I'm new to this, but I did it on myself for about 20 seconds, and I
did have difficulty breathing (I think it's in the script), but it
did induce a headache (in myself).
But BC, it sounds to me as if you percieved that I meant SQEEEZING it
HARD (like strangling someone, lol), I didn't, and I appologise if I
mislead you (or anyone else on the group). You just have to press
LIGHTLY, and then let go, it shouldn't cause too much damage. People - this is ludicrously dangerous - we're talking permanent
brain

Heh, yeah, you shouldn't do it, I specifically mentioned "EDUCATIONAL
PURPOSES ONLY", and this time I DO MEAN IT. Alot of sites put that up
so they don't get sued or whatever, but this is kinda dangerous (as
BC pointed out), so I reckon you shouldn't do it, unless you really
know what you're doing.
