Actually, you can direct your avatar's head movement- after a short delay it follows your cursor, so if you mouseover something your avatar looks at it. If you then leave your mouse in one place, eventually your avatar will go back into the 'randomly looking around' animation. It took me a while to work that one out.
Supposedly, Linden Labs is planning to allow people to move individual body parts (like a hand to point or wave) at some point.

I thought they were called 'microtubules' rather than microtubes. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure this theory has been discredited in favor of a more macroversal theory of consciousness.

It does bring back memories though- I did a report on this in Freshman English. That's what the teacher gets for letting us choose our own subjects!

I submitted an article when the story broke, but I think it meandered too much to get approved.
I'll only watch it if George Lucas directs.
