A Mysterious Medical Condition

[scififanatic]

I would totally have a character afflicted by this if I knew how to write in two or more languages. Then again, I could always make up a language (like Klingon) but that would require rules and I'm all about breaking such things (hence why I love various American dialects, though dialects have specific rules too). Anyhow, it's a very interesting report!

That is fascinating. The brain is such a fabulously weird organ. Have you ever read anything by Oliver Sacks? Check out "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat." It's all about bizarre mental phenomena; amazingly interesting stuff!

I love getting recommendations--thanks! I will DEFINITELY check out Oliver Sacks's work.

I saw this on the news too. It's so weird.
