Well, I found a picture in a book about the brain, It was a scan.
You could see very clearly how the blood had build up between
the skull and the brain. I agree that this could be a bit missleading
since this doesn't tell you what happens if something breaks inside
brain.

Yes, I agree. Anders help us out here.
Is it worth the effort to drill hole's :-)

You are right of course; it should add a great deal of value
in saving you from possible brain-damage, to give up all this.
I don't have a clue what the chance is of getting a stoke.
They had an advertising campaign in Holland recently regarding
this, and they claimed something like the second place on the
"what can happen to you list....". But the actual numbers
slipped my mind.
