my thoughts exactly. In the US, he would have walked away a millionaire! hmmm, couldn't help but wondering if he was bald before...I'm assuming he is now, that's worth another mil easy.

Look at the bright side, if it was a clear piece of plastic, doctors could observe his brain function without surgery. Maybe they could install a small diode that would light up when he gets a good idea. That would be the bright side.
