Did you know that Scott Adams, the cartoonist that creates Dilbert, is recovering from spasmodic dysphonia, a bizarre medical condition in which the brain areas controlling speech get weird, on and off. When it gets weird it can really get weird, sometimes victims can speak only in falsetto, or only right after sneezing.

Scott Adams spasmodic dysphonia allowed him only to be able to speak when reciting poetry or when he pinched his nose. Now isn’t that odd? Apparently one person in 10,000 suffers from this, usually in mid-life.

Adams seems to have recovered, but it’s quite an interesting coincidence that his Dilbert character has no mouth.
