- It was pretty funny. Because I just saw ECT on Friday. The Dr was saying how there are spikes in interest due to what people see on TV about it. - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 5, 23:15 4

    - Why? Not until next academic year. I am somewhat interested in neuro, so should be cool -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 5, 23:21 2
