Interesting Facts
	Yesterday I was lobotomized. For those of you who do not know, lobotomy is a brain operation that involves cutting nerve pathways in the two frontal lobes of the brain to relieve symptoms in patients suffering from major psychoses. The cutting was done through holes bored in the skull, but later an instrument was passed through the paper-thin bone separating the eye from the frontal lobes. In 1935, the first lobotomy procedure was performed by Dr. Moniz. By boring holes in the brain and injecting alcohol into the white matter, he destroyed the nerves that connected the frontal lobes to the main body of the human brain. In 1936, Walter Freeman and James Watts performed their first psychosurgery on a woman exhibiting a fearful, agitated personality. With this patient, as it was with future patients, her schizophrenic symptoms seemed to be somewhat appeased; however, she developed apathy, indifference, and dispassion. Later, Walter Freeman developed the "ice-pick lobotomy" because he wanted a cheaper and faster way to achieve the results of lobotomy but without boring holes in the brain. He started using an ice-pick to penetrate the orbital plate of the skull behind the eyes after he tranquilized the patient with some quick electric shocks. He would lift up the eyelid and pierce the pick above the eye through the plate and into the brain. A number of those who received the treatment became so apathetic as to be characterized as "vegetables." So far things seem to be going just ackackack...oofoof ...arrrrrggggg ......fine.
