The Cylons are coming. Ready the Battlestars and anti-radiation meds and prepare for exodus!

Psychotronic circuitry! Finally! Next step, self-aware Bolos.

Of course, we have to get the military on board with this, because we're going to need Abrams tanks for test beds. Humanity will be saved by science!

Unfortunately, if all of the Bolo stories that Keith Laumer wrote are what we'll have to follow to get them(and into space as well), society's going to have to collapse first. My first stop? The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. I want that Enterprise prop they've got.

I know a few people who could do with one of those.

This'll be interesting I can imagine. Would be noteworthy to see when they can claim, test, and prove they could transfer memories, personalities, etc. into the artificial brain for serious surgeries. Or replace parts of the brain with artificial parts and it works in events of drastic brain surgeries.

I know LOTS of people who could do with one of those, owing to the basic fact that, other than fresh air, there is nothing between their ears.

(Um, I interview many of them every week. Perhaps I should print the article and ensure copies are distributed?)

I also concur that some people are less intelligent than others.

Liar. You said the other day that some people are smarter than others.

Make your mind up!

If so, you can bet I won't be able to swing a date with the Major.

Be nice if I thought I could.

Also: just imagine TF fans and prosthetic bodies? Or furries....
