Early on the afternoon of April 1, Adam Wilson posted a message to Twitter. But instead of using his hands to type, the University of Wisconsin biomedical engineer used his brain. “USING EEG TO SEND TWEET,” he thought.

Think about that: People typing Twitter posts with their brains and yet The Stranger couldn't even find someone with a brain to write our Twitter posts.

Um, the message "sent" by this guy's brain was sent on April 1. That should tell you something.
