529126 2007-03-01 16:15:00 Scientists at a Chinese robotic engineering institute remotely controlled a flying pigeon .

First they implanted tiny electrodes in its brain . . . then by activating the electrodes from a computer, they "forced the bird to comply with their commands,"


. . . flying UP

. . . . RIGHT

. . . . LEFT

or DOWN

According to Chinese government-controlled media, they're refining the technology in the hope that it "can be put into practical use . " [CAN WE ALL READ BETWEEN-THE-LINES HERE?]

Scientists' fantasy: remote-controlled animals . Government fantasy: remote-controlled scientists .

529128 2007-03-02 06:16:00 No seriously, why would it be a surprise to anyone that the Chinese would be doing this. It has to be one of the or the most oppressive govt in the world and in a time or discontent with the censorship and the increasing availability of media and information, the Communists have to do something to control their people (other than shooting them in the head that is). beeswax34 (63)
529129 2007-03-02 06:25:00 Since they have such heavy numbers of graduates in the engineering sciences, it make one wonder where they are going to do their "engineering"? SurferJoe46 (51)
529130 2007-03-02 11:53:00 Pigeons with control? An organic machine? No way, the emission controls alone would outweigh the whole chook. R2x1 (4628)

We are throwing out/up large percentages of lawyers and accountants. I wonder where they will come to roost?

You guys going to overthrow the government?

I think it was Julius Caesar who said about invading a country: "First, you kill all the lawyers" . Accountants are just grease for the guillotine I think . :lol:

Sounds like there's something dastardly afoot in NZ . . . . or is this just the seasonal purge? :cool:
