Mother of God, was this one really necessary? Your tax dollars have allowed scienctists funded by DARPA to implant electronics into the brains of sharks that allow two way communication. The scientists can recieve feedback on what the shark is experiencing, and also issue commands to the shark to elicit a desired behavior. I’m waffling over whether this is possibly the most awesome thing ever invented, or an invention with almost no redeeming value. Well, no redeeming value other than the fact you could control an army of zombie sharks to do your evil bidding. Sometime I think that the majority of advanced military R&D is mainly focused on bringing the ideas of the film world’s best villians to life.

Thanks to oz for letting me know about this.
