Gratuitous Medical Bleg
Anybody out there know the physiological reason why, when you whang your kneecap against the corner of your desk, you feel nauseous?
Just curious. (Urrp.)

And here I was thinking I'd been very careful....

Simple nerve reaction...so he says....there's another one in your arm that if you hit that one it turns your whole arm completely numb. TMI?
