We don't want to make light of mental disorders or its sufferers, but you have to admit sometimes a person can be just mentally ill enough to be cool. After all, chicks totally dig troubled guys. Now, when we say "troubled," we're not talking about that one naked dude on the subway who constantly masturbates and can only talk in machine code. No, we mean the complex and difficult soul, present in 70 percent of Oscar-winning movies, who spends two hours battling against his inner demons while being submerged up to neck level in pussy. You can be that guy, if only you’re lucky enough to contract an inconvenient and traumatic brain condition. Here are 5 such disorders that might just be cool enough to get you laid. Foreign Accent Syndrome
This very rare condition arises as a result of a stroke or head trauma in which the brain's speech center is damaged, causing the sufferer to regain consciousness with a totally different accent. In addition, some people pick up a "bizarre intonation." We're not sure what this means, but we're guessing it's how you would sound if you tried to have a conversation while being enthusiastically fellated.
Will it get me laid?
You could get lucky, like the lady who woke up speaking a strong Jamaican patois. Or, in a chilling worst-case scenario, you might end up like the woman who regained consciousness thinking she was French. Jesus.
How do I get it?
Is it worth it?
Ok, don't go for it. Alien Hand Syndrome
It's otherwise known as Dr. Strangelove Syndrome, which should give you an idea of its symptoms. One hand appears to act independently of the rest of the sufferer's body, performing complex actions that are often in direct opposition to the person's intention. Your right hand, for example, might shake that of your girlfriend's father, while your left hand reaches around and gives him a cheeky pinch on his buttocks. Due to its willfulness, sufferers tend to associate the hand with a specific personality, which is usually that of a total fucking dickhead.
Will it get me laid?
If that doesn't work (and let's face it, possessed limbs are often not the best judges of subtle moods), you've still got someone else's hand on the end of your arm. If you can persuade it that you love and respect it very much, and that your erogenous zone is not going to stimulate itself, you don't really need to get laid at all.

Stendhal's Syndrome
Stendhal's Syndrome is a psychosomatic disorder that strikes when a person is exposed to too many beautiful or powerful objects in too short a space of time. Symptoms range from dizziness to full-blown psychosis. It can be triggered by famous works of art, areas of natural beauty and even entire cities; hence Jerusalem Syndrome ("Holy shit, I'm standing exactly where The Messiah once stood!") and Paris Syndrome ("Holy shit, I just paid $14 for a cup of coffee!").

Walking Corpse Syndrome
Walking Corpse Syndrome, otherwise known as Cotard's Syndrome, is a rare disorder in which the sufferers are convinced that they have died or otherwise ceased to exist. It was first described by neurologist Jules Cotard in 1880, but was only given scientific legitimacy in April 2007 when it featured in an episode of Dinosaur Comics.

Synethesia
For synesthetes, the stimulation of one sense causes the automatic stimulation of another, resulting in the ability to taste shapes, see music, and countless other variations. One synesthete may perceive each letter of the alphabet as a different color; another may have entirely separate smells for each year in the calendar. So to that person, 1996 has a pleasant apple-like fragrance, whereas 1983 might smell like dicks.

Everything --> colour synesthete here.
(translates to)
green/light yellow --> yellow red/green/brown brown.
:-)
Now I want a motorcycle even more. I hear those things can help you get laid in the first place.
Sight-smell synesthete, but I'm also a manic depressant, and schizophrenic.
So pretty much, I'm fucked if I'm off my meds. Otherwise I just get lots of funny smells.
Sound -> color synesthete here, runs in my family along with HFA. It took me forever to realize that not everyone had the same experience. It's funny so many think it's mysterious, since it's about the most mundane thing in the world if you have it.
I don't have Synethesia but its kind of funny- I agree part way.
Monday for me IS red. Isn't that funny? Tuesday is light green, Wednesday is light-brown (you could call it peachy)Thursday is dark green, like the dark green of a bush, Friday is light red-pink, Saturday is light blue and Sunday is light blue.
It's true, numbers have colors. The funny thing is that NBTT has the same colors for numbers as I do. (one black two green three red four pink-red five blue, six yellow seven green, eight purple nine dark red)
i think i may be a synethete but i think its weaker than other people that have it.i can sometime taste shapes and sometimes its a bit cool but then theres also the chance of tasting a penis in your mouth...EUGHEUGH
Monday is red, Tuesday is orange, Wednesday is peachy, Tuesday is dark green, Friday is dark blue, Saturday is yellow and Sunday is kinda rosa with orange tints in it. :) I've also got this with numbers, like five is blue, six is yellow, seven light green... Some people were staring at me when I told them about the color of numbers and days. I sometimes even associate people with colors. I've got a light blue friend, a purple one and a lime green one. But that's something I haven't told to anyone who could lock me away yet.
...OK.... maybe not... I do "feel" and "taste" certain things in conjunction with certain images. They don't always match up, either. It's really hard to describe. I don't know if that's synethesia. But if it was, it would be frickin' awesome. :D
*gasp*
I'm deaf! And I'm good at art and writing and stuff! Could this mean I have synethesia?
AWESOME!!!
Oh, bonus. I also randomly switch between a near-flawless British accent, a flawless Georgia/Florida accent, and my normal speech. But again, that probably just comes form being bizarre. And hitting my head on too many doorways....
I don't think I have synesthesia, but I do see things that nobody else sees. Such as, the word Ozone produces a greenish haze in my mind. If I close my eyes I can hear what colours are going on, and see in my mind what I associate them with. So my theory is: I'm just f*****g crazy :D
I find that every girl has a different and subtle smell.
Totally unrelated, Totally crazy. :D
i forgot to mention that every time i hear an accent i smell a different smell, like when i hear an italian accent with english language i smell something grose i dont know how to describe and when i hear a russian accent i smell dust (thats really stupid, i know)
i dont know if that counts, but every time i hear a song of genesis i smell an apple-like fragrance and other sounds make me imagine pictures that dont have nothing to do with them
Synethesia is great. I see sound and music in way that is impossible to relate, it's too complex and is beyond simple visuals. It's more of a sense of space, colour, shapes and movement in my mind without being able to pick up on specifics. I've tried to describe what I see but it's beyond language, imagine thousands of images overlaid on top of each other and swirling through a space. I can sit and listen to music with my eyes closed and I get treated to a visual trip in my head. I don't need visualizers. I have one running in my mind all the time.
Is it possible to have a mild form of Synethesia? For example, when I read a cracked article, I don't see ever single letter as a color or taste, but if I'm color coding words, letters, or numbers, I tend to assign them a color that "feels right". You know what I mean?
I have the "common" form of synaesthesia; music, numbers, and letters have color (and I happen to be a pianist (an emblem, composed of my favorite three colors, forms at the climax of my favorite song when I play it!), sketch-artist, and other random stuff, so the whole "creative" bit in the article is true). I thought that it was normal until my early teens when I started talking about it and realized that no one knew WTF I was talking about. It is definitely a good conversation starter and arouses people's interests (especially girls' interests, but it alone will not get you laid......so don't get too excited :)). By the way, I see the number that RavenUberAlles listed as ["yellow""brown""black with blueish tint"---"orange""red""grey""pink with yellow hue"]. It really does help with memorizing phone numbers and spelling words (there have been some funny moments where I corrected people by saying "No, that's the wrong color. It was (some color), so it is definitely...." and then they gave me strange looks....and then remembered my condition after a few awkward seconds.).
I am a synesthete. I can determine the key a piece of music is written in by the colors it evokes... and yes it will get you (or me rather) laid.
I am a girl so I believe myself to be an expert on what will or will not get you laid.
And the answer is yes, synesthesia will TOTALLY get you laid.

Sorry for double post, but I have to dissagree with NBTT!! Everybody knows
Monday - brown
Tuesday - pale yellow
Wedensday - deep warm blue (kind of like prussian blue)
Thursday - almost white yellow with hints of indiscribeable orange
Friday - strong deep red with the "d" being brown
Saturday - lightish blue
Sunday - Burnt sienna
I can't believe there are this many people the same as me. it's a little infruriating really, because I dissagree with pretty much all the others' "feelings" if that's the right word.
Suprisingly though, it has gotten me into quite a few pants.
