Surgeons completed the operation by fitting a metal socket to Mr Nagle's head so he could be hooked up to a computer.
What kind of socket? USB? FireWire? Fiber optic? Punch card reader?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Season 2 of Firefly, baby!
Neuromancer, baby!
Gotta say, I'd pick the first one.

Thrive to spite them
I'm confused about the claim that Terri didn't receive communion because on Easter there were reports that she'd recieved a drop of wine, but wasn't able to accept the piece of wafer.

I thought he did-ish. He gave her a drop of wine, but couldn't give her the wafer.
There had been a report that Michael had said no, but later changed his mind. And it went exactly as you described it (according to reports).

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
You're allowed to give communion to people who aren't mentally there? Do they give communion to people in comas, too? I guess I thought there had to be some kind of volition involved in it, but maybe not.
I do remember reading over the weekend that she was given last rites.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
And also my understanding of Catholic practice might be off, but I thought you couldn't receive communion (and maybe Last Rites) without going to confession?
Might be totally wrong and there might be exceptions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd thought they might get away with it:
NBC had a tough night at The Office Tuesday as its imported sitcom, which had shown promise with a strong debut last Thursday, virtually collapsed in its regular Tuesday-night slot. The sitcom, which received generally positive reviews, came in dead last in the ratings with a 4.1/6, losing to Fox's House, MD, which scored an 11.3/17 (and appears to be a genuine surprise hit for the network), CBS's Amazing Race, which garnered a 7.9/12, and even ABC's lackluster Rodney, which drew a 5.4/8. The top-rated show of the night once again was American Idol, which posted a 15.5/24. Together with House, Idol gave Fox a huge lead over its rivals Tuesday night.

If I only had a brain...
but even then, since removing her hydration and nutrition was going to kill her, I don't understand that, either.
There was no reason -- none -- to believe that mouth-feeding her would work. And, so I've read, aspiration pneumonia is a more painful and uglier death than dehydration.

I don't think that I've been to confession since I was confirmed some 25 years ago, but I don't mention that fact to the priest when I go to communion.
