What happened to the guy? Did he become a vegetable?

  No, he lived and claimed it fixed his problems. He worked at a local electrical supplies store. He sold me my first soldering iron and taught me a bit about tinkering with analog electronics. I've lost contact with him after he left that job.

    You mean you lost all electric contact?

    Interesting but rare. I knew of a guy who, as a child, was electrocuted at high voltage; he survived but remained stuttered and twitchy for the rest of his life. There are cases of acquired savant syndrome that after some kind of concussion they develop some special abilities, it's all accidental of course and cannot be replicated. Some examples Derek Amato, Orlando Serrell, Jason Padgett

      > remained stuttered and twitchy for the rest of his life. That's an amazing time constant. He should have gotten a job as an electrolytic supercap. Audiophiles doing single-ended stuff would have loved him. He could probably pass signal down to a fraction of a Hertz into an 8 Ohm load.

  There are a few documented cases of traumatic brain injury (of various forms) actually fixing mental problems. They're very rare, but it happens every now and again.
