Man thought to be in Coma for 23 years wasn't

This one amazes me, I can't imagine just being a mute spectator to my own body for such a long period of time. I think I would go mad.

There's been anohter article published since then saying that that's not entirely accurate. He's using assisted communication (someone helping him push buttons to communicate) and that person has heard the question being asked and is looking at the keyboard. James Randi (the skeptic debunker guy) has basically said they are full of it unless he can still communicate without her looking at the keyboard and without hearing the question first.
