    I just heard that on the news this morning. I don't think anybody is surprised, unless it's the Freudians...
    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

      I'm not surprised that there is a genetic component to most things...I am a bit surprised about the connection between the five particular disorders and how differently they can be expressed in the same families.

        This is really cool too -

        Brain-To-Brain Interface Allows Transmission of Tactile and Motor Information Between Rats

        We are only a few steps away from direct mind-to-mind communication - technological ESP.

        (actually, I wouldn't want it myself - I like the privacy inside my head. However, for all the cell phone addicts, this would be just the thing)

          Depends on the addict, I love my phone's net connection. I'm wary of any form of direct mental hookup. Way too many potential headaches. Still a cool toy though.
          life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

          Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

          "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

          John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

          "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

          Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis

              I saw that in the news - crazy. A guy is sleeping in bed, and suddenly, he drops into a 50 foot deep sink hole that materializes inside his house... I read that he is presumed dead, but they can't recover the body until they are sure the sinkhole has stabilized...

                Nobody in their right mind would want a direct link into my head. And those that *would*, I'm guessing, would wind up being caged up (institutionalized) in very short order.
