Did anyone else find that quite creepy?

I wish I could work on DARPA-funded projects.

Fuck awesome! Wish my co-ordination was that good! Mind you, it does start to improve once I am into the last 1/3rd of Beam. As far as I know.

Should be ok if it's been microchipped.

Made me think of the mechanical hound from "Farenheit 451"
