Aircraft flown solo by rat neurons...
Sorry, my headline is even more misleading than AVWEB's
Brain In A Bowl Flies Simulator
Someone once said he could teach a monkey to fly but researchers at the University of Florida have taken it a quantum leap further. The biomedical team says it has a dish full of about 25,000 rat neurons that can keep a PC flight simulator on the straight and level. It's as if the neurons control the stick in the aircraft, they can move it back and forth and left and right, Professor Thomas DeMarse told Wired News. Now, the researchers aren't explicitly looking to replace pilots with rat neurons ... at least not yet.
Next will be ATC console operated successfully by a Labrador's brain, and a biscuit manufacturer replaced by the @rseholes of 14 brown snakes...

Whatever he is paying his tailor is waaaaaaaay too much.
Fact is the average, including moi, computer user today, only uses about one nanopoofteenth of the capacity of which the average computer is capable today.
All that brain power harnessed over all those years so that we get to play solitaire on the screen, without having to shuffle a deck of playing cards.
