There's a 2nd Aug post on the above weblog, about an old movie starring Alan Arkin (MASH, I think) and written by Marshall Brickman (Annie Hall).  The movie's called _Simon_...

Quote:
"Five eggheads are sequestered away from society at a government-funded think tank called the Institute for Advanced Concepts ... they give [a man who they try to pass off as a space alien] a new birth memory and when Simon wakes up he’s convinced that he is from outer space ... Naturally the press ask — is Simon a self-styled lunatic or the first visitor from outer space?"


Might be kind-of-fun for a Sunday afternoon...

(If you visit, don't read the rest as it's a plot-spoiler - but there is a useful link at the foot of the posting, for those who know what a torrent file is.)

Or is he the guy who invented the memory game Simon?

No, it's fiction, not a documentary
Sorry I was trying to make a joke. Who's the person in your icon?
Hi, my icon is "Ed", the aspie from the U.S.A. TV series "Northern Exposure".
