I, for one, do not understand why engadget posts always carry multiple links that do not bring you anywhere but to places you're not interested in.

I have a great idea! Lets throw a 100 processors together... no wait! A thousand processors together! And create a model of the human brain! And then call the processors neurons or artificial neurons, just like the real thing! Wooh! Yeah, but how does it work? Well because of the connections, you know! Because there're so many and err... you know, if you put it all together it just comes to life. It's like probing electrodes into silly putty. It just creates a mind out of nothing.

I suppose two strips of velcro are included so the incubator/tubing/contrivance/thing can be strapped on top of your head?

I guess they just tie 'm to a tree or something and just ride off. So cruel!

Just make it a tiny little ball and shoot it into a leg. You'll just scratch but never know.

Sex is about the reptilian brain (the oldest part). Like Windows95 is put on top of MSDOS, the early mammal part and the neo cortex are put on top of the reptilian brain). So it doesn't need to be very real. And therefore, it isn't sad. I think it makes life a little easier, really. It's a stupid ritual anyway. Ever wondered why such a stupid thing never bores?

Why don't they just paint a face on it? Uniform green is easier to apply or what?
