As stated on WebMD<ref>http://www.webmd.com/brain/charcot-marie-tooth-disease</ref>, '''Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease''' (abbreviated '''CMT''') is "''a '''group of disorders''' in which the '''motor and/or [[sensory peripheral nerves]]''' are '''affected''', resulting in '''muscle weakness''' and '''[[atrophy]]''', as well as '''[[sensory loss]]'''. These manifestions occur first in the distal legs and later in the hands. The [[nerve cells]] in individuals with this disorder are not able to send electrical signals properly because of abnormalities in the nerve axon or abnormalities in the insulation ([[myelin]]) around the axon. Specific gene mutations are responsible for the abnormal function of the peripheral nerves. Charcot Marie Tooth disease can be inherited in an [[autosomal dominant]], [[autosomal recessive]] or [[X-linked mode of inheritance]].''" It is also known as [[Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy]] ([[HMSN]]) or [[Peroneal Muscular Atrophy]] ([[PMA]])<ref>http://www.mdausa.org/disease/cmt.html</ref>, but the disease in general is accepted by the community who has it as not receiving a great deal of publicity<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xAgPRYO3XY</ref>, they say things like "what bothers me is when I tell a doctor about CMT.....and get that blank, dull look.....they have no clue."<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xAgPRYO3XY</ref> -tickyul, [[YouTube]] user.

Dkbeyette: changed "rants against christianity" to "rants against organized religion"

'''Nine Inch Nails''' is an influential [[Grammy Award]]-winning [[American]] industrial [[rock]] band. The band itself consists of only one permanent member, founder Trent Reznor. However, several famous guest musicians have contributed to the band's releases, including Adrian Belew, [[guitar]]ist with seminal British progressive rock band King Crimson.

On May 5 2008, Nine Inch Nails' eighth studio album, ''The Slip'', was released to be downloaded without charge from the band's homepage.

Reznor is known for his scathing criticism and rants against organized religion, as are apparent in a number of his songs.
