Things said by or about Nimrod

Scientist: "He has moments of partial lucidity, but generally is confused and disoriented. He's subject to fits, muscle spasms, loss of control... Two months ago he set himself on fire -- deliberately or not I don't know. That's why we moved him to this secure cell. Perhaps he wants to die. Perhaps the memory of what he once was has become unbearable." 2000 AD prog 1408.
