    Default Today, mankind's first servitor created

    Heard about [URL="http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/07/07/484950849/synthetic-stingray-may-lead-to-a-better-artificial-heart"]>>this<<[/URL] on NPR on the way home from work. A bioengineer created a synthetic stingray from silicone, gold and tissue from a rat. The device/creature was intended as a test-bed for creating a better synthetic heart.

    I say, "Behold, mankind's first servitor."

    The way he told a colleague about his idea, he said, "I want to take apart a rat and put it back together as a stingray, in order to research how to make a better artificial heart."

    Man, I wish I could have conversations like that at work. The best I can do is, "Yeah, you'll need to invoke a deamon process for that."

    If he didn't say the right incantations beforehand, then I have only one thing to say:

    HERESY!

    Read the above in a Tachikoma voice.

    403 Forbidden is a good thing perhaps?

    If you hack the image (that is, change "images/" to "images//") it's just Mickey Mouse looking horrified.
