Professor Theodore W. Berger, director of the
Center for Neural Engineering at the University
of Southern California, is creating a silicon
chip implant that mimics the hippocampus, an
area of the brain known for creating memories.
If successful, the artificial brain prosthesis
could replace its biological counterpart,
enabling people who suffer from memory disorders
to regain the ability to store new memories...

OK, whut they rilly need is a chip that

MAKES YOU FORGET THINGS!

Erases traumatic events and clears space in the memory banks of all those
meaningless memories you accumulate in life while waiting for planes in
airports...the dead time.

I wish they would hurry, I'm about to retire, and there is PLENTY of stuff
I'd like to forget about completely.

Oh, man, you nailed it there. I couldn't agree more. Like the time when I
was a kid my when father would get drunk and follow me into the bathroom...

You DON'T wanna know. And neither do *I*. The current technique for this is
far to global and random (electroshock or lobotomy).

No problem! No chip needed. Just mix your meds with liquor and after a
while, you'll need Post-Its to even remember where you keep the meds.

Not if it uses Windows software, it won't. Demand Unix or FUCK YOU
BRAIN. I'm already chortling over the image of the first criminal case
where the defense is that "My flu shot was tainted and made my plastic
hippocampus go kerflooey."

Augh. The thing won't even COMPILE with the brain block device support
enabled unless you either type "I have read the documentation" into the
appropriate prompt or edit the makefile to remove said prompt.

And yet, there are STILL people who mount their brains without fscking
them first, then complain that the filesystem is screwed up.
