Whisper to a Scream

A story came up that I had missed: Scott Adams, creator of the comic strip Dilbert, lost his voice 18 months ago. I mean lost, as in completely, utterly, permanently. The part of his brain that controls speech essentially crashed.

Good news came this week as, despite the odds, he seems to have found a way to reboot that part of the brain and he regained some use of his voice back. It's an odd and fascinating tale of losing something you take for granted, and then trying any way possible to get it back.

Scott Adams :: A Good New's Day

Scott must have millions of fans, just based on how many office cubicles have some Dilbert cartoon stuck up on the wall ("Must ... control ... fist ... of death!") With the outpouring from fans and friends alike, Scott says "I am more touched than a congressional page." At least the funny bits of the brain are still there too. All the best Scott!
