    Obligatory Head of Vecna story. They didn't think about the meaning of the location of the brain....

    In Spock's Brain, they could have taken Spock's entire head. Or, why not just kidnap Spock? Grab first, then take brain out. Or, or, if they have the technology to remove a brain intact, and reprogram it to serve their purposes, wouldn't that imply the ability to just copy it or make up their own brain? Oh well, that episode is unfixably bad anyway.

  5. Hmm... by girlintraining · · Score: 5, Funny · on Neuroscientist: First-Ever Human Head Transplant Is Now Possible

    Head of Vecna, anyone? In other news, this plus cloning = "cure" for aging? Now if we can just figure out how to take all the skin and tissue on the skull and transplant that... oh wait. Nevermind. Face transplants.

  6. Forget the Hand & Eye! I'll form the Head! by Valdrax · · Score: 1 · on What Are Some of Your Favorite RPG Quests?

    Since everyone else is really ignoring the MMORPG part of the question, I'll chime in with one of my favorite table-top gaming stories: The Head of Vecna What better quest than one set up by rival players that involves deceit, trickery, backstabbing, and inter-party murder?

  8. Re:my two cents by Sogol · · Score: 1 · on IT Unions?
    if there are any would-be IT union reps reading this, here is my recommended list of demands:

    • 27" plasma monitor
    • X Terminals in toilets
    • periscope in server room (for occasional glimpse of daylight)
    • I'm only half kidding
