Great answer!

If my brain made up all this stupid stuff I see on the internet... well... I wish somebody would pull my plug.
I sometimes wonder the same thing, what if I'm really in my own world and on life support. Sounds weird, but I'm sure we've all questioned the legitimacy of life.
silly silly...we're not in a coma...we're in the Matrix!
We don't. We could be in any number of situations (for example, you could be the only 'real' person and everyone else is a pawn of the Devil/God, it could be a virtual reality etc.) There's no real way of knowing whether we are who we think we are or whether we are just in a virtual reality, a la the Sims. That everything is 'simulated' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulated_reality)....
If you are in a coma, how have you managed to create 376 threads, and made 887 posts to MacRumors. While some may titillate the younger members and a number of threads have fed the wasteland.... Oh damn, just look in the mirror and practice your lisp for your coming out.

Excellent point, my apologies. This question has actually bugged me since I was a wee child.
So let me get this straight.
There are six billion people currently in a coma ? And some are having a group dream that they are on an internet forum ?
Or is it just one person in a coma and he's dreaming all of this discussion up ?

Anything is possible.
The Human mind is very powerful.
