    Man speaks after 10 years of no response

    Pretty damn cool


    Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

    Maybe he just had nothing to say?

        That was probably because he still had a brain....

          But since genius IQ's have been found in people that only have ~2 mm of cortex how do you tell the level of function? CT's, MRI's etc. can tell you how much tissue there is, but not how much function is contained therein.

          To me this makes any judgements based on cortical thickness alone a scary proposition. We know a lot....but not that much.

            Is suspect this guy actually ate himself. He was comatose for only 2.5 mos, not years like the shiago case. What is scary is when people make comparisons between cases out of the blue.
