i-Snake, a New Robotic Surgeon

Roland Piquepaille noted coverage of the iSnake Robotic Surgeon which is basically a super flexible robot that can travel through blood vessels and repair the heart. Of course the article isn't exactly clear on what happens if they gain control of the city's sewage system and take over.

bad idea

If someone's blood vessel is plugged up with cholesterol, wouldn't a snake get stuck and kill them? And if they break the chunk off that could easily cause a stroke. Plus a big snake stuck in your heart doesn't sound too safe either. And what if it doesn't want to get out and causes a hostage situation? Then what?

Btw wtf is everyone's problem with Roland? Maybe I haven't been around long enough but my only problem is I can't pronounce his retarded last name and he looks like a douche.
