I See Posts Before My Eyes

‘I think the process of us becoming cyborgs has already begun.’ – Dr. Michio Kaku, Theoretical Physicist

Of COURSE it has, you wispy-voiced prat!

A guy with carbon fiber legs is running in the Olympics, Rush Limbaugh has a cochlear implant, and people with medically attached webcams are being accosted in French McDonalds.  It’s HERE, we’re CYBERMEN, get USED to it!

Seriously, news media, stop talking to Michio Kaku.  He talks a good game as long as he knows the questions ahead of time.  But off the script, and in real life, he’s a hapless, ill-at-ease dullard.  Check out one of his many appearances on Opie and Anthony.

Seriously, get your sound bytes from to Neil deGrasse Tyson instead. He’s funnier, knows as much as Dr. Kaku, and can think on his feet, possibly while juggling and drinking a glass of water.

I don’t CARE that Michio snuck a TARDIS onto the cover of one of his books.  Neil could tell you how it WORKED. Michio would pull out that “Time is like a river” chestnut, and you’d want to hit him with a swimming noodle.
