Intresting stuff. A monkey has been kitted out with a false limb that it controls with it's brain alone.

yet another sign that the apes and monkeys are gonna be running this planet before long. I give it 3 weeks at best.

I thought they were already running governments every where!:huh:

Great, soon all those internet monkeys will be able to spam using only their mind.

At least keyboards were a minor buffer against their onslaught for now :damn:

Not all governments are run by monkeys...and remember, they are idiots compared to crocodiles and rats... they are the real problems to the political process. They are more cunning compared to idiots!

Corrupt b-------!:nope:

I had seen this on the news this morning. Although cool and possibly great for people who have missing limbs, I kind of feel for the monkey being put to the test like this. But, hey, that is just me.

He was well paid in bananas I bet.:up:

[AVGWarhawk]

Well, look at the poor fella. His limbs are in clear plastic tubes and he can not move them. He has a steel skull cap that is wired to a robotic arm. I guess if he is hungry enough his brain would get that robotic arm to function! However, he does look content and seemingly happy in the video, all the same, I still feel for the little critter.
