Sensory deprivation is the deliberate reduction or removal of stimuli from one or more of the senses. Simple devices such as blindfolds and earmuffs can cut off sight and hearing, while more complex devices can also cut off the sense of smell, touch, taste, thermoception (heat-sense), and 'gravity'. Sensory deprivation has been used in various alternative medicines and in psychological experiments (e.g., see Isolation tank), and for torture or punishment.
Though short periods of sensory deprivation can be relaxing, extended deprivation can result in extreme anxiety, hallucinations, bizarre thoughts, depression, and antisocial behavior.

Get the Super Senior mug.Anyone familiar with the fast food chain Wendys is most likely also familiar with the JBC, or junior bacon cheeseburger. Costing only 99 cents apiece, these babies give the average joe by far the best bang for his(or her) buck. The SBC is two JBC's stacked, and then flattened to fit in the mouth. Some modifications include a layer of ketchup or mayo between the two burgers, but really anything is possible. This invention is thought to have originated in the East Coast state of Maryland, somewhere near the town of Elkridge, by a MR. C...but its origins are not definitely known.
