 | View Full Version : Scientists Pilot Rats With Electrodes Synthetic 05-02-2002, 07:51 PM I found this article at Yahoo! both strange and interesting. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20020501/ap_on_sc/remote_controlled_rats_2 Rewdog 05-02-2002, 07:57 PM A while back I saw them doing this with cockroaches, but as spies for the government. That little bug in the corner may have a camera and is watching you :) Chicken 05-02-2002, 08:37 PM Someday, scientists said, rats carrying tiny video cameras might search for disaster survivors. ...or detonated to kill people.

The best way would be to insert a small compressed canister into the rat filled with a chemical agent, the rat(s) would then be trained to crawl into bed with the target and release the chemicals (most likley by remote control) and voila, instant stiff in the morning with no evidence left behind (asuming you could get the rat out of there in time b4 it ingsted the chemicals :) appletreats 05-02-2002, 10:28 PM Originally posted by Rewdog A while back I saw them doing this with cockroaches, but as spies for the government.

And fire it at the assassination target! And the rat could just scurry away because NOBODY SUSPECTS THE RAT. :uzi: Abu Mami 05-03-2002, 12:16 AM Now I know why I have these sudden urges to go crawling around the kitchen floor. alchiba 05-03-2002, 12:25 AM Originally posted by DanielP no evidence left behind (asuming you could get the rat out of there in time b4 it ingsted the chemicals :) Bah, the rat is expendable. A small secondary charge could vaporize the rat and still leave virtually no trace. Besides, no self-respecting forensics guy will want to pick through rat parts while investigating the scene. He'll likely just report it as "vermin in the wrong place at the wrong time".

Remote control rodents. I want to call mine 'Ratty' Beats an Sony AIBO.
