Backyard Brains Shows You How to Remote Control a Cockroach (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on Tuesday June 11, 2013 @06:16AM from the we're-happy-scientists-not-mad-scientists dept.

This is our second video starring Backyard Brains (Motto: "Neuroscience for Everyone!"). The first one was pretty lab-oriented, with a twitching roach leg here and there. This one has more roaches, with most of them crawling on command. Will the DoD see this and decide to make cockroach soldiers? Or roboroach bomb detectors and defusers? Or cockroach drone pilots? Anything's possible these days. But meanwhile, relax and enjoy learning about roboroaches and watching how, with little circuit boards on their little backs, they scurry hither and yon under control of their human masters. WARNING: Excessively squeamish people should not watch this video, but should stick to the transcript.

Yes, that's it. Keep denying that the Holocaust ever happened.
You are obviously an Obamabot that has been programmed by members of the Illuminati and Scientology to spread disinformation amongst those who are ignorant and unaware. I will not abide your deceptions!
We will fight to expose your lies, Baquack Obamailure! You will not enslave us all! We know you are working with the aliens! You will not get all of us to surrender! We are not all puppets for the aliens! Sure, you might be their favored pet, but we will not let our family members become slaves and food for the aliens! We will fight you and your new masters until the day we die!
For freedom!!!!
