I saw this mentioned on the Colbert report and had to see if it was real... and guess what it is, apperently they've got dozens of these types of robots running around in the US and England. and even more surprisingly, Hollywood has  even made a crappy B movie about boy with a pet robotic vacuum cleaner with a chunk of his fathers brain.

They linked a single rat brain cell to a computer chip years ago. This was only a matter of time.

That said, CYBORGS FOR EVERYONE! :U

All goes according to my plan....  Using this tech I'll manage to be the first human to connect his brain to the internet an achieve near omnipotence and omniscience while creating an endless army of robot warriors to hunt down and eradicate those I dislike.

*has actually planned this and will give a paradise to those who support him*

:mwaha

Ya just gotta love Zetsubo-Sensei!

This is actually my avatar on another forum.


EDIT: Actually, I'm also kind of thinking about these guys (http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Cyberman_(Pete%27s_World)) rather than Daleks.
