The Man Who Ate His Own Brain

A London-based IT expert has eaten a reproduction of his own brain - made out of chocolate.

Andy Millns volunteered for the experiment to test cutting-edge 3D printing technology.

By taking an MRI scan of his head, experts at London-based Inition, the 3D technology company which Andy co-founded, where able to feed a map of the brain into a computer and print it out on a 3D printer.

After creating a latex mould of the mini-brain it was a matter off filling it with liquid and putting it in the fridge for three hours.

Mr Millns said: "I've been involved in some wierd 3D projects over the years at Inition but eating my own chocolate brain was one of most bizarre.

"They say these things taste of chicken... I thought it tasted nutty."
