A unicorn horn on the forehead to hide the WiFi antenna, flamethrowers in the nostrils, cameras in the eyes, VIA eden mobo...somewhere.

I can see modders having a field day with this horse. I'm sure someone will find a way to make the horse break 65mph.

Yeah right, until someone cracks it open and rewrites that "whinny" into "Get the hell away from me you little brat."]]>Feb 9th 2006 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/butterscotch-the-robo-horse-set-to-scare-small-children-this-fal/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/butterscotch-the-robo-horse-set-to-scare-small-children-this-fal/http://members.cox.net/jmccorm/santa.html ).

You need to carry a spear and wear the horned helmet to get that sort of respect! NOBODY messed with the real vikings. (It wasn't that the horses were generous so much as they didn't dare see what an angry viking would do).

I'm wondering what sort of reaction any of MY horses would have to this thing. I have a hunch this thing wouldn't last long in the paddock... (snort, snort, KICK, snap/crackle/pop/fizzle).
