    yea i was gonna say, they didnt show the rat brain. apparently the brain is on another electronic setup wirelessly sending signals to the robot via BT.

    i would call shens, but i know damn well this tech is happening now.
    heres some related pics, dunno if related directly to this tech.. but interesting nonetheless

    Poor rats. They get the short end of the stick every time. One of my friends is a cancer researcher and she basically injects rats with chemicals all day hoping they will get cancer.

    LMAO

    Also, it would take me a long time to get used to eating bugs like that I think. The eyes! They're looking at you! *shudders*

    Ha! We dared my daughter to eat a cicada shell for 10 bucks when she was about 8 years old. She actually did it...

    Just like shrimp or soft-shelled crab, according to the report linked in my previous post. The main problem is that your food is looking at you looking at it! :D
