Something I don't get- Mussa-Ivaldi said the glass cone implant is bulkier, but its advantage is that brain cells grow around the glass, holding it in place. I thought brain cells didn't grow (at least in adults). With this much manure around, there must be a pony somewhere.

Thought I remembered a Scientific American article to the effect that somebody had discovered brain cells reproducing. Or is that just wishful thinking?

And while there is a doctor in the house, she is doing a sub-internship (think "residency but it ends in 6 weeks") and so really deserves her rest... Cheers, Ben "...
