User:Mr.ECT

I am a new member to editing Wikipedia as of November 4th, 2008, but I have been reading Wikipedia since 2006.

Name
Mr.ECT is a character from a short story I wrote, who is based loosely on the character Dr.Benway from William S. Burroughs's novel Naked Lunch. ECT stands for Electro-convulsive therapy, which is a controversial psychiatric treatment in which seizures are electrically induced in anesthetized patients for therapeutic effect. I usually use Mr. ECT to refer to my alter ego, Like Hunter Thompson's Raoul Duke, or Dr. Gonzo, or William Burroughs's Bill Lee.

Info
I am a high school student in Albany, NY.
