  • Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, suffered from Spasmodic Dysphonia, which is a mysterious condition where the part of your brain that processes everyday speech is no longer accessible. He wasn't able to speak in certain contexts, but in others, like public talks, he was able to speak perfectly fine. A few days ago he realized that he could speak in rhymes perfectly, and soon afterwards his brain remapped his speaking process and the condition for the most part disappeared. Very strange stuff.
