Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Anyone know Italian? WTF is going on here?:
Babelfish says:
The brain of a man - Donovan, the millionaire of Los Angeles, expert in an aircraft incident - is from a doctor, face to abstruse scientific searches, put to "cultivation" in one incubatrice and, connected to a encefalografo, studied in its tinier reactions. And the miracle happens: the brain of Donovan not only alive, but is developed prodigiosamente; and with the continuous brain to living the personality of Donovan, with it's memories, it's odii, it's frightful ambitions. This monstrous personality gets hold of the doctor, than, like ossesso, it is forced to act like Donovan: it becomes Donovan. Crimes, monstrous fights, the horror dominate every page of this capolavoro of the modern "gotica" literature: until the destruction of the brain monster and to the liberation of the scientist its succube.
I think I like "its memories, its odii, its frightful ambitions" the best.

And from Wikipedia, a much more prosiac entry:
Donovan's Brain
Donovan's Brain is a 1942 horror novel by Curt Siodmak. The story revolves around an attempt to keep alive the brain of millionaire megalomaniac W.H. Donovan after an otherwise fatal plane crash. Gradually, the increasingly evil brain develops telepathic abilities and becomes able to control the mind of Dr. Patrick Cory, the character who is keeping the brain alive.
The novel has been filmed on several occasions, most notably as The Lady and the Monster (1944) and Donovan's Brain (1953), the latter starring Nancy Reagan.
Okay, now I'm scared.

Of course. Doesn't everyone know that if you take a brain out of a body and keep it alive, it will become telepathic. Hell, even a severed head that's kept alive will probably develope the ability to communicate telepathicly with any monsters that happen to be locked up nearby.
Clearly you're still paying for all the gelato and lovely scenery.
Yes, between that and the plague, the vacation is clearly over.
Well, now I'm completely unsupervised and proofreading documents about joint tenancy because I'm bored.
Okay, now I'm scared.
Of Nancy Reagan?
