    Once they have them up and working they can figure out how to get them to transmit rabies.

    I had a bat in my office just a few weeks ago and judging from the screams that were heard all over the floor, it would be effective spy tool. I would told the winged rodent anything just to get away.
    (Yes, I know they are not rodents, but yuck anyway).

    @Curves: You sure one of your co-workers didn't punk you with the bat for all those surprise saftey inspections?

    @GTgeek: How to get kids to eat other stuff: 1-Tell them it will give them gas (kids think farting is the funniest thing EVER) or 2-tell them "You are not allowed to eat that."

    Why don't they just attach cameras to real bats?

    @Ibelieveinsandwitches: that's not close at all. normally half an inch would be "this close" or if it was really REALLY close, than 10 millimeters accomponied with squinting.

    next thing you know, we'll have swarms of micro-bots that can navigate through buildings and scan your irises...and if you try hiding in the bathtub, they'll just shock the water with their little shocky legs and pry the bandages off your face.


    "1984" was soooo 2004. We're heading towards "Minority Report".

    Ok, what the Hell? I mean really? Swarms of Micro Drones?

    That can navigate themselves? And have the potential to kill? Sounds like something out of a Michael Crichton book... Shit I did it again.

    does bat senses imply they are going to have flapping wings... or just sonar to direct them through the dark sky?
