Brain Implant Asks for a Beer

A completely paralysed man, who was left unable to communicate for months after losing the ability to even move his eyes, has used a brain implant to ask his caregivers for a beer. Composing sentences at a rate of just one character per minute, the man also asked to listen to the band Tool “loud”, requested a head massage from his mother, and ordered a curry – all through the power of thought.

A completely paralysed man uses a brain implant to communicate one character per minute, asking for a beer, loud Tool music, a head massage, and curry. The joke is the contrast between an astonishing medical breakthrough and the mundane, indulgent requests he chooses to make with it, making this suitable as an absurd reaction to finally gaining a powerful ability.
