Four years earlier the man had first experienced symptoms, such as headaches, which the team of doctors at Addenbrookes Hospital, in Cambridge, had treated as tuberculosis. The patient, who was of Chinese descent, had recently visited China, which along with South Korea, Japan and Thailand, has more regular occurrences of the parasite known as Spirometra erinaceieuropaei. This form of tapeworm had never been seen before in the United Kingdom. Effrossyni Gkrania-Klotsas about a British man found to have a tapeworm moving inside his brain in 2013. “It had moved from one side of the brain to the other … very few things move in the brain,” says Dr. They leave doctors puzzled in their wake as they migrate and settle to feed on the body they’re invading a classic parasite, but this one can get into your head. George Carlin may be gone, but his spirit lives on and always will.Once you consume them, they can move throughout your body – your eyes, your tissues and most commonly your brain. It’s a glorious piece of comedic genius that is still as potent today as it was upon its release in 1997. If you need something to lift you up out of the emotional gravity of real life, I urge you to listen to Brain Droppings by George Carlin. Our world seems to constantly be riddled with bad news that can bring you down. It’s a glorious time capsule that everyone should take the time to listen to more than once. Years later, as I listen back to the audiobook version of Brain Droppings using the Downpour app, I can’t believe how funny this material still is and hearing George read it to me makes for an even more delightful experience. Reading Brain Droppings back in the 1990s was a joy! It was filled with some of George’s most classic routines, as well as new musings and observations that made me laugh until it hurt. I had already watched many of his HBO TV specials, listened to his albums, and was looking for more George Carlin to sink my teeth into. This is the first George Carlin book that I ever bought.

Learn what he thinks of sports fans, how he would improve the TV networks, his suggestions for “Legal Murder Once a Month,” and his plan for “World Peace Through Dancing.” Performed by Carlin himself, and filled with thoughts, musings, questions, lists, beliefs, curiosities, monologues, assertions, assumptions, and other verbal ordeals, Brain Droppings is infectiously funny.

Carlin demolishes everyday values and leaves you laughing out loud. The thinking person’s comic who uses words as weapons, George Carlin shares all-new, cutting-edge opinion and observational humor in this best seller. Luckily for fans, not only was it released in print form but it also got the audiobook treatment, featuring narration by George himself.

Released in 1997, Brain Droppings was the second book authored by iconic comedian George Carlin.
