well i know first hand what he is going thru, i also had surgery in L4 and now the scar tissue is hardened and pushing on the nerves, it really does hurt, i was told that further operations would only further the scaring, he could try going to a pain clinic and get the injections in his back, i have done that but it didnt help me much and other people i have talked to swears by it,i also took the soma and codien among other crap like that,i now have 4 discs in my back shot due to an injury last summer, but the pain clinics can and do help, they know what is best in your personal situation, and give proper meds that dont make you feel crapy, as far as the tens meters they only annoyed me, and did nothing to ease the pain,i have lived with pain since 1993 and all one can do is to try and cope with it,one has a hard time sleeping when u hurt so bad\ni would suggest he go to a pain clinic cos they are so much more advanced nowadays\n\ngood luck\n\nADD;\ni also have two discs in my neck removed and held together with a titanium plate, ,i waited to long to get medical help, i hope he dont keep putting this off cos it will only get worse

Sorry to say that the "official" answer is that only Quintin knows for sure...and he isn't telling. \nand about it being Marcellus' soul. Nope. and the Band-Aid?? According to the special features on the DVD a costuming person put the Band - Aid over a scar because she didnt want the scar to be distracting..i find that to be ironic.

Carrot Top.  Have you seen his arms?  Plus the steroids he took to get them that way would give him additional anger and adrenaline in order to pummel Borat, or anyone else for that matter.

the tattoo on his left forearm says his name "Fernando" in Tengwar which is used in the lord of the rings movie. He also has a 9 on his wrist and on his lower leg he has the 7 - 7 - 2006 in roman numerals. its so cool. and i also think hes the hottest guy ever!!

Yes dear, it is. The whole album, The Black Parade, in fact is revolved around "The Patient" who is a cancer patient. Each song has something to do with him and bad things happening to his life. The new song, Welcome To The Black Parade, is about how his dad taking him to see a marching band was his biggest childhood memory. I know it's very sad. Also the reason for Gerard Way's new hair is to give the illusion that he went through chemotherapy like a candcer patient. It's basically a symbol.

The briefcase kept MW's soul.  (Honey-bunny: Is that what I think it is?... It's beautiful.)  It was taken out through the back of his head, hence, the bandaid.  The lock on the briefcase was 666.

He was accidentally killed. He took a tablet for a headache and had a reaction known as cerebral edema.  It was not a drug overdose or murder, but the idea of all these conspiracy theories is what fuels his legend.\n\nCerebral edema is swelling of the brain which can occur as the result of many things, including head injury, allergic reaction, stroke, drug overdose, acute liver disease, cardiac arrest or from the lack of proper altitude acclimatization.\n\n"Symptoms of cerebral edema include headaches, decreased level of consciousness,loss of eyesight, hallucinations, psychotic behavior, memory loss and coma. If left untreated, it can lead to death (r. Bruce Lee)."\n\n"On July 20th 1973, Bruce had arranged to meet Raymond Chow along with actress Betty Ting Pei who would star in "Game of Death". He stopped off at Betty`s house and told her that he had a headache. She gave him an Aquagesic (a painkiller that she regularly used ). Bruce laid down in her bed and went to sleep. During his sleep, the brain swelling returned and triggered an allergy to the painkiller called a cerebral edema."\n\nHis son Brandon Lee died from accidental shooting on the movie set.

Answers to the "alt.music.seal" frequently asked questions. \n\n \nWhere did Seal get those facial scars?  \n\nContrary to popular belief, the scars were caused by a disease called Lupus which Seal suffered from when he was a child. The particular strain from which Seal suffers causes blistering especially around the facial area, which when ruptured cause deep scarring. \nThey not the result of ritual scarification, being bitten on the face by a wolf, getting punched while wearing glasses, or being involved in a motorcycle accident (And they are some of the less bizarre reasons proffered!) \n\nFor more information regarding Lupus, visit lupus.org. \n \n\nBack to the FAQ index

Actually, I was wondering that too. It's pretty unclear. Sometimes he gets sick and the other time the same thing makes him stronger. That place in the plot was weird. I guess the movie relied too much on special effects and action and didn't pay enough attention to the plot.

I once read that in the Bible they had a passage that said that they remove your soul from your body from your neck behind your head.  That is why Marcellus has a band-aid on his neck and apparently his soul is in the briefcase.  I don't know but it sound cool.  In reality it is just a cool gimick Tarantino used.

obviously he is concerned about injuring you... that is because he doens't know what he is doing... he hasn't learned the wrist technique that allows for maximum pain and redness without any real lasting damage...

... because he LIKES it? v.v'... come on, now. That's an easy question. That's just how he wants to dress. It's his style! Why do gangsters want to dress in sleeping shirts and sagging pants? Beats me, but they do it regardless. And yes, MM's look is very hot. Marilyn Manson rocks!

I think Nelly was doing it to remind himself about his brother in jail who had a scar in his face.\n\nI quote a comedian: "They shouldn't be putting the bandage on their face, but across their buttcheeks to remember those in prison."

it's from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff.  \n\ni think it's been used in almost every movie trailer with a big epic swordfight scene, and even a beer commercial (Rickard's Red)

Origins:   Much  \ndebate centers around the contents of the briefcase in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. A theory that has been passed around via e-mail and is prominent on the Internet is the following: \n\n\nIf you all are anything like me then you had no idea what was in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction. So, through a friend of a friend of a friend who had a two hour conversation with Quentin Tarantino himself, I now know, and I thought I would pass along the information because it makes the movie even 100 times better than it already is. \nRemember the first time you were introduced to Marsellus Wallace. The first shot of him was of the back of his head, complete with band-aid. Then, remember the combination of the lock on the briefcase was 666. Then, remember that whenever anyone opened the briefcase, it glowed, and they were in amazement at how beautiful it was; they were speechless. Now, bring in some Bible knowledge, and remember that when the devil takes your soul, he takes it from the back of your head. \n\nYep, you guessed it. What is the most beautiful thing about a person: his soul. Marsellus Wallace had sold his soul to the devil, and was trying to buy it back. The three kids in the beginning of the movie were the devil's helpers. And remember that when the kid at the end came out of the bathroom with a "hand cannon," Jules and Vincent were not harmed by the bullets. "God came down and stopped the bullets" because they were saving a soul. It was divine intervention. \n\n[Note: Nowhere in the Bible is it stated that "when the devil takes your soul, he takes it from the back of your head."] \n\nHowever, that this interpretation came directly from Tarantino conflicts with other accounts. According to Tarantino A to Zed: The Films of Quentin Tarantino: \n\n\nTarantino has admitted that there is no official explanation behind the briefcase's contents, and that it was simply written into the screen play as an intriguing McGuffin. \nAnd from Rober Ebert's Questions for the Movie Answer Man comes the following statement by Pulp Fiction co-author Roger Avery: \n\n\nOriginally the briefcase contained diamonds. But that just seemed too boring and predictable. So it was decided that the contents of the briefcase were never to be seen. This way each audience member would fill in the blank with their own ultimate contents. All you were supposed to know was that it was "so beautiful." No prop master can come up with something better than each individual's imagination. At least that was the original idea. Then somebody had the bright idea (which I think was a mistake) of putting an orange lightbulb in there. Suddenly what could have been anything became anything supernatural. Didn't need to push the effect. People would have debated it for years anyway, and it would have been much more subtle. I can't believe I'm actually talking about being subtle. \nThere have been many other theories on what is contained in the mysterious briefcase. A contest run by the Toronto Star to decide the contents produced several popular answers: \n\n\nThe Oscar that Quentin Tarantino hopes to win  \n\nA human head \nThe ear from Reservoir Dogs \nO.J.'s other glove \nMichael Jackson's other glove \nThe diamonds from the robbery in Reservoir Dogs \nRudolph's nose \nThe winner of the contest claimed it was a homage to Robert Aldrich's Kiss Me Deadly, which centers around another briefcase, glowing because it contained a small nuclear bomb. Tarantino maintains that the similarity was purely accidental, although he apparently liked the idea. \n\nLast updated:   11 July 1997
