The peopledriving electric cars are going to become catatonic because they have no mechanism like a catalytic converter to receive input from the direction of travel.
One is said to have become 'chatatonic' after over-exposure to chat and especially chat rooms. In a chatatonic stupor, the mind becomes numb and body parts stiff and sore. Disjointed, surreal posts are noted from chatatonic chatters and unpleasant personality changes are typical.
Chatters were saying that chat_gnat was chatatonic for much of last week. He was in the room for like 4 days straight... slurping espresso on mic and ranting about Democrats, lesbians and the French.
After drinking excessively, the state of feeling as if limb muscles and the central nervoussystem are disengaged from one another and that this might be the onset of some truly debilitating disease like MS or ALS but is in fact just a symptom of the DTs.
Maybe it was the six bottles of wine I drank last night that made me feel so Katatonic or maybe I am about to die of a massive failure of my nervous system.
