I cannot believe that I didn't think of that. Now all scientists have to do is make a big spike that does the whole biocell implanting process by itself and we'll be one step closer to being the reapers!CalPal said:... Is anyone else thinking of the Mass Effect husks when they read this?
Kind of related to this news article which was posted here on the Escapist [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.318669-Scientists-Create-Deus-Ex-Style-Biofuel-Battery] october last year. It's a very viable possibility for the future.darthotaku said:I just have to ask, can we moddify this for use on people?
imagine the possibilities. immagine if your smart phone was attached to you and never ran out of battery life. imagine you sat down at a computer to work, and it helped power the office building you were in.
This could be one of the most important technologies ever if we can harness it.

Because every scientist works on the same things, amirite? It's not like "science" is a broad term for many different fields, including but not limited to physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, geology, astronomy... Nope. It's all just a bunch of guys in labcoats all huddled around a cockroach. Yes. There aren't any other scientists doing other experiments, any other studies. If you have a fucking labcoat, you were in on this experiment. And finding a new energy source can't possibly have any positive outcome. Figuring out how to most efficiently harvest and utilize this new energy won't at all inspire innovation from anyone.Jegsimmons said:with the amount of resources used in this stupid ass reasearch....we could have been one step closer to going to mars, cureing AIDS, reducing Cancer, or finding a way to make michael moore stop being so fat......fuck you modern day scientist.

I know we tend to be disgusted by little critters. I know I used to crush cockroaches because I thought they were dirty little things that made us sick.
Then we got snakes and lizards and skinks and whatnot... and cockroaches turned out to be a prime food source. So we got started with breeding roaches.
Meanwhile, I couldn't imagine life without having some hundred cockroaches in their designated space. They eat all our refuse, such as potato skins, and turn them into non-smelly pebbles of dry fertilizer. They organize themselves in rather elaborate manners, and some species are actually giving birth to live little roaches. It still freaks people out, but it's actually rather cute. And as long as the critters are white, they're still soft and perfect food for just about any other animal.
Once you allow yourself to learn more about how roaches live and watch them do their thing all day or all night long, I can assure you you'll be amazed - they are special little critters that really serve more purpose than our beloved furry friends, be they cats or dogs, to be honest. And they even clean up after themselves, would you believe it. No shedded skin or unhatched egg goes to waste... they recycle everything. They are wonderful and amazing bugs, and you wouldn't believe how refined and strong the bigger ones amongst them can be.
If you want to learn about survival, the cockroach really turns out to be the perfect organism. Not that I would want to be a cockroach, mind you, but their resilience is mind-blowing.
