To summarize, science and technology have come together to help out in lightening Jesus' miracle load. Scientists have constructed a mechanical arm that can respond to the thoughts of a paralyzed patient. It'll allow them to perform simple tasks for themselves, and possibly allow Stephen Hawking the chance to finally have a working iron fist with which to rule the world.

They say the average male thinks about sex every 6-10 seconds. I wonder where that that arm is going to want to go...

On a serious note - Go Technology! :wnod

US Military Funds Mind Reading Researching

The US military has issued $4 million in grants to university researchers to study ways to read people’s thoughts. According to the Associated Press, the military says the research could someday lead to a gadget capable of translating the thoughts of soldiers who suffered brain injuries in combat or even stroke patients in hospitals. But critics say such mind-reading technology could be used during interrogations. The project is a collaboration among researchers at the University of California, Irvine; Carnegie Mellon University; and the University of Maryland.

This kind of technology is a double-edged sword.
