    I could never risk going out in public again where I might see an attractive woman if I had one of these strapped to my head.

    "Breanna Olson, a mother of three, found out two and a half years ago she had ALS, the most common form of motor neurone disease (MND) and which, with no known cure, weakens muscles and over time affects speech, swallowing and breathing."

    Yikes. MND is what Stephen Hawking had.
