Years ago, with a bunch of college buddies, I was watching the "Howard Stern Show" and a caller came on and Stern was evidentally in a bad mood and the caller was somewhat incoherent and eventually Stern hung up on him because of the combination thereof...
Anyway, the producer (baba boey) came in an explained what the caller was trying to ask [paraphrase]:
"That guy wanted to arrange a surgeon to install an electrode into his brain so that electricity could be shot into his pleasure nerves (like rats in various experiments)"
!!!
I had thought about this long ago as a potential SUPER drug. Just turn on the juice, and you've got a 1000 hits of cocaine at 15 cents a KW/hour. I'm still pissed that Stern hung up on that guy, because he probably could have arranged an experiment. Can you imagine if that became popular?
That experiment was done, google for it. It is quite amazing/shocking. The guy with the electrode apparently pushed the button thousands of times within a short period of time. It's just scary to think - I suspect nobody would have the will power to escape that drug. Which in turn shows how clever nature has programmed us (somehow making us DO things), and how little we really determine our fates.
