I guess the article itself isn't "fascinating," but the implications of the anecdotal accounts are interesting to contemplate.

the wachowski brothers probably think it's fascinating

from the CNN article

About a year later, Swerdlow said, the tumor partially grew back and the man started to collect pornography again. He had another operation last year, and his urges again subsided.


There's an FOFCkleenex/KindergartenCop joke in here somewhere...

Funny... Reminds me of the time a guy in my middle school got caught spankin' the monkey in the library while looking at photos in an issue of National Geographic.

The librarian walked by and saw him in the act... his excuse was that he was massaging a tumor on his thigh...

So, naturally, everyone in school henceforth referred to masturbation as "massaging your tumor." :D

My dad had a rather large brain tumor removed about a year ago(Labor Day Weekend), before the operation there were rather drastic changes in his personality that were noticed by anyone who knew him at all. He was always a quiet person, and all of a sudden he became rather hyperactive, talking CONSTANTLY and often talking so fast that we had a hard time understanding what he was saying. It was really strange, and really disturbing.

A year later, there is still a noticible difference in his personality. He talks a *lot*... it's weird. It's not anything I'd complain about of course, but mom and I have talked about it... it's just... weird seeing him have a distinctly different demeanor now. Of course that is all overridden by the fact that we are so amazingly happy and lucky we are that he is still around.
