    I just want to know when I will be able to download into my mind knowledge. I'll take an order of all the languages in the world, with a side of advanced mathematics and physics, and maybe some animal science for dessert.

    Actually, I'm looking forward to the idea of being able to implant some of the more impressive memories from porn.

    Cue song..."The human brain is for porn.

    Of course, this will mean rickrolling will be taken to a whole new level.

    Sure there is, just check the revision history and talk pages.
