Evergrowing Genetic Super Army

Some of the scientists in the lab have taken time off from the monkeys and have been focussing on the smaller and potentially much more deadly super fly. In this particular experiment they have created some form of headless (but still living) fruitflies and then stimulated their movement through firing lasers at their head. This can supposedly stimulate the neurons and maybe even induce the fly into flight. Pretty freaky if you ask me.

by Susana Q. Lima and Gero Miesenböck?? pffft they're the fakest names i ever heard. it might as well be Rembrandt Q. Einstein and Ren Höek. and everyone knows you should be trying to shoot lasers OUT of the head, not INTO heads. and that discussion? 3/10 AT BEST. they didnt even end it with "we conclude that more work needs to be carried out in this area". what kind of scientists are these, i'll tell you: theyre more scientologist than scientician i think!!! BAM!
