The brain...there is nothing like the brain...

I have some comments (obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be posting this, whould I?) on both the article and the story to share, assuming that makes sense.
First about the story: THIS IS FRIGGN AWSESOME. PERIOD. Who cares if this idea is totaly ripped off from that episode of House that aired a few weeks ago? That was just Hollywood. This, on the other hand, is real life. People with the worse luck ever, who are left with as much control over their body as a rag doll, will be able to legitamitly communicate with the world around them. How cool is that?!
About the article: I was impressed with the way it was written. I feel like the writer (Richard Greene) managed to capture the excitement of the story while still maintaining the profesionality that's expected in a CNN article. I also like how Greene didn't focus too much on how the discovery could help people; instead, Greene doesn't get too far ahead of himself, and keeps the magnitude of the discovery in check. Many writers hyper-focus on how discoveries will be used in the future, but not this one. That aspect really made this article.
Also, if you understand the reference in my title, post a comment telling me what it is and I will respect you for life.
