Now here's a headline to catch your attention: Monkeys Control Robots With Their Minds

Just struck me so funny that I had to share it!

But this is the first time a brain-machine interface has been used to fulfill a useful function, such as allowing monkeys to feed themselves.

Those poor monkeys. They had monkey arms, and now they have robot arms. I hope those robot arms can fling poo.

Warning: Politically incorrect statement ahead.


All I know is that I cannot have midgets that are taller than me because of super robot legs.


This is a joke obviously.

SURE! whats going to happen is the robots are going to become so smart they are going to be used to make other robots. but when the robots are making other robots (without human supervision of course, because there robots) they are going to slightly tweak the design so that the robots are smart enough to band to gether to create even smarter robots, which will be smarter than us, make guns, and take over the world. quite simple really

I'm thinking robots vs monkeys. First they unite and destroy human kind. Once we've been wiped from the earth they turn on each other. Nobody knows who struck first...wait...either way, it's not good.

if the monkeys can hold off long enough, their "organic ammo" might just rust the robots into defeat :lol:
