A new coat of taint

So while I was walking back from class today the phrase "Frontal Robotomy" came to mind. Maybe I've had Flowerewolf installed too long, maybe it's like the time I awoke from a sound sleep with a website address in mind (It was someone's photo-gallery about their motorcycle. Really.).

It doesn't seem to be in wide use:

• Hans Salter titled a track from Lost in Space
• "Robotomy" appears on Urban Dictionary, in a similar use to Stupode in early Scientifiction
• and two years ago it titled a one-time contest.

And I don't think it's less explicable than a reference to Max Ernst's Une Semaine de Bonté (A Week of Kindness), not the comedy troupe.
