The procedure had a simple name but the concept inspired a fantastic array of silicon chip driven solutions.
The whole idea was to capture the memory of a dying brain cell so it could be “recycled” or funneled back into newer brain cells. I had heard the spiel from the doctor and asked all kinds of questions about the exact technology involved in the process. He told me that he could not divulge the exact specifics because of a nondisclosure agreement but that he could give me vague generalities and a crude analogy. That is where the recycling of the dying brain came in.
So now I find myself as a volunteer in a study. They say it’s perfectly safe and I will greatly benefit from it. To make a long story short I now find myself lying on a gurney in a white sterile room awaiting a crack team of medical researchers who will administer the procedure.
Here they come now. Well, its just two guys and but they look like they know what they’re doing
One of them was pushing a tool cart with a white sheet draped over it. This is so exciting, they’re about to pull off the sheet and reveal to me the secret of the procedure. Something no one else has seen before.
Wait, what? Um, this must be some mistake. Ok guys, enough of the joke already.
“Yes, you did mention funnel but I thought it was a metaphor.”
Help, someone…HELP…..
