If you could look and feel the way you wanted, be able to eat and do what you wanted, all by implanting a small micro-chip into the base of your head, would you? Smoke all you want, eat all you want, and be able to control how your body responds, would you?

This is long.



If you have the patience, read on.



If you're a fan, you will enjoy this.
