Not so much a stream, but random puddles of consciousness.

Unlike my other blog, Suburbia, this is hopefully more of a thoughtful, personal site.

Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia →

nostrich:

An ice-cream headache, also known as brain freeze, cold-stimulus headache, cold headache, or its given scientific name sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia (meaning “nerve pain of the sphenopalatine ganglion”), is a form of brief cranial pain or headache commonly associated with consumption (particularly quick consumption) of cold beverages or foods such as ice cream.

Didn’t know this had a name!
