Chris, Chris, Chris. We are all doing to die. It's just a matter of time.

Speak for yourself.

[solan-t.livejournal.com]

Optimist.

Speak for yourself. Once I score my killbot body, avian flu's going to be a far distant concern.

You'll just have to worry about that neural-input rot. Oh, and mad cow; I hear it's especially hard on cyborgs. That's why my killbot's interface is just pads-on-skin.

You know, that collective sigh of relief with the end of the Soviet Union and the election of Bill Clinton is turning out more and more to have been both illusory and fleeting.

And now I'm back to my A Boy and His Dog thoughts again.

Great. Avian flu. That's probably what I've got now. *snork* *sniffle*

Ooh... hadn't thought of the prion problem. That'll be a very cinematic end, won't it?

Curse my foolish attachment to my CNS!

I am, in fact, just a disembodied consciousness that floats in the ether and creates meatsacks when I need to interface with your species. Don't worry about the avian flu. When my brethren from Dimension X assimilate my report, your species will undoubtedly be elevated to a higher plane.

Or wiped out. It's a bit of a toss-up, that one.

HE's actually a Extropian in disguise!

Bwa-hahhahaaha!

See, everything's a trade-off. In a straight battle, your killbot will mop the floor with my killbot: The differential in reflexes is huge. But given time or seige, you'll slowly grow ill and your 'bot will rust and wear out while I grow stronger and my 'bot remains fully lubed.

Bwaaaa hahahhaaha!

Ah-yup. I think the world is less deadly as a whole now, but... well, need I say more: Bushites.

That'll teach ya to use live chickens in those rituals. Eeee.

Cool! Dude, elevate me! Me!
