Gotta agree with that one! Calvin & Hobbes is hilarious even if you don't even know who the real Calvin & Hobbes actually were.  :cheers:

so who were the real calvin & hobbes?

jbox:
Two very famous philosophers who each had different ideas about the nature of reality. Calvin was a big supporter of pre-destination (which is why nothing is ever Calvin's fault) while Hobbes believed in the more humanistic view that humans are a very small part of the animal kingdom which has its own rules about what is "right" and "wrong". Do a Google or Wiki for them, but if you are a big fan of C&H and of those adult swim stop-motion clips you absolutely have to .  :laugh2:

And if you like you Robot Chicken, you probably seen this Zaxxon vs Centipede clip already.

He could give presentations, and he could even sing, but when he tried to just talk to his friends his brain wouldn't send the signals to his neck. And then a couple of months ago something just "clicked" for him and now he can talk normally.

Or was it all just a dream?  ???

True.  Spasmodic Dysphonia.  He could talk in accents, or rhyme, or use his stage speaking voice, but normal speech caused his larynx to spasm... making speech impossible.

Its a mental thing.  The part of the brain responsible for normal speech goes bonkers.  Rhyme, or talk funny, and its a different part of the brain -- all is good.

Wierd.
