You're right. Have they found a (non-alcoholic) cure for brain farts yet? :D:

Yes but it tends to be fatal.

I remember after George McGovern (I think), survived an assassination attempt, he was paralyzed from the waist down. They fitted him with an electric device with wires in the base of his spine, so whenever he's in pain from his wounds, he presses a button, and the electricity zaps the pain away. Right now I can't think of what they're called.
[font="Palatino Linotype"]are you thinking of a t.e.n.s. (transcutaneous nerve stimulator) unit? they help some, but you have to be careful that you don't get burned[/font]

Yes, I believe that's it. They implant the wires onto the nerves, and a push of a button helps deaden the pain. I haven't heard of the burn bit, though.
