What a waste of science & technology:
Scientists Create Remote-Controlled FliesThis ranks right up there with the engineers that create such wonderful inventions that benefit all humanity like the Singing Bass, the Pocket Fisherman, and my favorite: the Karaoke Machine.
Yale University researchers say their study that used lasers to create remote-controlled fruit flies could lead to a better understanding of overeating and violence in humans.
Using the lasers to stimulate specific brain cells, researchers say they were able to make the flies jump, walk, flap their wings and fly.
Even headless flies took flight when researchers stimulated the correct neurons, according to the study, published in the April 7 issue of the journal Cell.
These people should be made to pay for introducing such crap to the world...
Of course, I should inform everyone that for my senior engineering project, I plan on creating a Rap/Hip-Hop Seeking Missile and I might be able to tie it in with a chem majors project and have it yield a powerful explosive....
Personally, I don't have one of those, but I see your point.

This doesn't excite me much. They've been doing laser ablation in Nematoads (C. Elegans) for a while now and it's the same old, same old.
Perhaps, if I'm really, really, really bored, I'll skim the paper in Cell.
