- Sho once posted that it would be a good idea to periodically post lists of
- all the crap stuff talk.bizarre regulars *hadn't* written.
-
- Well, I started a short story called "They Saved Maxwell's Brain".
-
- The plot involved Maxwell having some terrible illness such that he could
- only be saved by transplanting his brain into another body. Maxwell's cronies
- had chosen Terry Waite as a suitable body donor, and had put him on ice in a
- secret lab.
-
- The plot got pretty convoluted; Maxwell's old body was dumped at sea and the
- brain put in a tank ready for the operation. Then they discovered that Waite
- had been stolen by Palestinians and released.
-
- If someone wants to steal the idea and write a million-selling novel, be my
- guest.
