+ How cool? How kind? Some Scientists have a rat brain learning to pilot a jet. It has learned to keep it level in weather from blue skies to hurricane-force winds. That’s a rat brain. Not a rat. Just a brain..grown onto an electrode array and plugged into a desktop simulator. [Wired. Creepy link via David]

Here in Holland we have this club called “Baja Beach Club” and they use the ‘insert your ID badge under your skin system’.
They said it’s easier; fixed customers don’t have to pay everytime they go into that club.
They were also the first in the world who used that system.
I dunno,,, I don’t like the idea of getting a chip under my skin. Makes me feel like a robot. =|

Wow. That is almost incredible that people would volunteer for that..but then, in a world where Bush continues his rule, I shouldn’t be surprised.

Lots of christians believe that this chip marks the end times, because of the passage in revelations that says no one will be able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast. It’s even more interesting to consider that 2000 years ago a mandate to stop anyone anywhere from buying or selling would have been impossible idea to enforce. But the chip now makes it possible. The prophetic book also says that the mark will eithier be on the forehead or the wrist. And I once read, but don’t know how true it is, that these under the skin chips can only absorb enough body electricity to run if placed on the forehead or wrist. Which makes a little sence, that theres enough energy in these pIaces, right know i can feel that energy in these spots on my body, can you? John also says in the future the punishment for not recieving the mark is death. I’ll tell them they can stick the micro __ __ __ __ __ __ __ (edited by request). I also take the inner stereo upgrade.

Kent since ive got the airwave going i should tell you whats goin on in my universe. I went to nordstroms today, i dont enjoy shopping. Long drive though is probably why I said the micro macro. I went to the docter for headaches, he didnt have a clue what was wrong with me. I finnally laid and stained like a 700 sq ft patio thats connected to like a japanise wood deck that L’s around the spa. The ocean is loud, as often is, at this time of night. Peace brother i love you sooo much.
