Well hey, we already know that every neuron is a super-computer. You
know, vibrating quantum shit and whatever. Pitts-McCulloch is _so_
1943. We've just got to find the neuron with the little homunculus-guy
inside and we're all set.

But anyway - can't talk now. My C program is misbehaving. I've got to
take my PC apart with an electron microscope to figure out what's gone
wrong.
