First they create a method to track stealth vehicles as they fly through standard television and radio signals.
Then they sneak up on one of our Carriers.
Now they know how to fly pigeons via remote control.
Does anyone see the potential military applications they can employ with this?
Bird-brained Chinese scientists learn to fly pigeons
2 hours, 3 minutes ago
BEIJING (Reuters) - Scientists in eastern China say they have succeeded in controlling the flight of pigeons with micro electrodes planted in their brains, state media reported on Tuesday.
Scientists at the Robot Engineering Technology Research Centre at Shandong University of Science and Technology said ther electrodes could command them to fly right or left or up or down, Xinhua news agency said.
"The implants stimulate different areas of the pigeon's brain according to signals sent by the scientists via computer, and force the bird to comply with their commands," Xinhua said.
"It's the first such successful experiment on a pigeon in the world," Xinhua quoted the centre's chief scientist, Su Xuecheng, as saying.
Su and his colleagues, who Xinhua said had had similar success with mice in 2005, were improving the devices used in the experiment and hoped that the technology could be put into practical use in future.
The report did not specify what practical uses the scientists saw for the remote-controlled pigeons.

Imagine the tragedy if they could poop on command. A swarm of pigeons attacking American cars from abroad.
Nuke them now and get it over with.

China's new spectator sport: pigeon dog fighting.

I was thinking less about poop and more about smallpox, anthrax, and other pathogens than can be easily spread.
Yeah, probably not worth worrying about. :huh

I wonder if the technology will transfer to women?

I'm covering my head with tin-foil right now.
I like to stick w/GVs. If my husband gets a hold of this outstanding newly developed technology, he'll have me signed onto AH and into an airplane against my will for hours at a time until I can take off w/out augering.
