The future is here... robotic bees. Now we just need the fitting gun to shoot them at people. His list of applications is fun too: Spybots, pollinating plants.... he forgot delivering horrible poisons and diseases *g*

and also to be fired out of dog's mouths, so you can have dogs that shoot bees out of their mouths when they bark at you.

Actually I find the cybernetic Goliath beetles to be far more terrifying.

Clearly we're going to lose control of these robo-bees and they'll become a worse threat then killer bees and destroy civilization as we know it through their neurotoxin injecting stingers. The skies will blacken with clouds of them.

Simpsons... when Homer tries to get on the property of Mr. Burns.

Homer: Oh, yeah, what are you gonna do? Release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouth and when they bark, they shoot bees at you?

I've seen a thread on these before.
It was the "Drone Ideas" thread from a week ago, nearly the bottom of the list.

NOOOO they're after our bee technology!

No.
We're after their technology.

But we (or at least a good number of us) have been RPing espionage for years, so the real thing shouldn't be that difficult.

So, why don't we have it already?

Or is it that we have to get over that dieting and exercising hurdle first?
