Re: Doc Octopus
I've said it before and I'll say it again, our kids and kids kids, are gonna live in interesting times, 'tis a bit scary to think where it will end though sometimes, I mean, all the sci-fi in books and films of yester-year are becoming more and more sci-fact, are we ready for cyborgs yet

If you mean cruel, heartless, and emotionless beings, who steadily take over control of our day-to-day existence, and who rule our lives and make our life a daily hell; I am already married (only joking, dear!  )
