Conversation pieces I need

So another thing I decide that the world needs:

  1. A CAT scan of my head, used to construct a 3D model of my skull.
  2. Said model is fed to a 3D printer.
  3. Repeat, only this time use an MRI scan of my brain.

Voilà, I can reenact Hamlet’s conversation with Yorick with my own skull. Or, at least, a replica of it. And contemplate the mystery of the brain using my own as a paperweight.

All the technologies are right here. We have them today. We had them years ago. All that is needed is for Someone™ pull a wire from one to the other and connect them.
