STAT


We played "Operation" a lot as kids, enough so that I think none of us went to medical school in part because that damn buzzer noise haunted our dreams.

But now they have what appears to be a 3-D version of "Operation," and it's called "Operation Brain Surgery."

Essentially it's the same general idea as the original -- you root around in the guys head and remove parts without setting off the buzzer. And it's that same Operation guy with the bad hair. Talk about longterm illness, man, he's been consistently sick since at least the early 1970s.

Says one Amazon commenter: "It's a decent game but it's nowhere near as fun as Hasbro's "Colonoscopy," Milton Bradley's "Hi! Ho! Root Canal-i-o" or any of the games they play in the burn ward at Mt. Auburn's Hospital on Central Street. "

Have you seen some of the other reviews this guy has left? He gave a Motorola phone 2 stars because, "Instead of ringing, this phone just sits silently on my desk and judges me. I don't need that." Heh.
