Cyborg!

"Imagine a jetline with a pilot that never makes a mistake, never gets tired, never shows up to work with a hangover." Dyson, Terminator 2

I just watched a BBC report about a soldier back from Iraq has just been fitted with the world's first commercial bionic arm. If we can't have fully automated robot slaves doing all the stuff we want to then isn't the next best thing being a cyborg? You'll be stronger, faster, have no lactic acid build up in your muscles when you're doing stuff. Brilliant. I'm sure sooner or later they'll develop internal organs that can process the alcohol out of your body so you don't get a hangover either. That might be a long way off but if it is then at least watching that film you can learn the soldier's pin code so if you steal his wallet you can get all his cash. Woo!
