scientists have trained monkeys to control mechanical robot arms to perform menial tasks.
tell ya what, i'm gonna take a little nap, wake me when these scientists do something truly worthy. if these scientists really want to impress me, invent a simple joystick that allows me to control monkey arms. yeah, now THAT is what the future is all about.
i would use my monkey arms to do many things i prefer not to do with my human arms. things like:
- touching old people. i have always wanted to spend more time with the old people, but i don't want to touch them. some times they need to be repositioned or sponge bathed. monkey arms would be great for that.
- opening bathroom doors, toilet papering public toilet seats, dispensing paper towels, etc. nearly all potty related activities would be better handled by monkey arms so not to place myself at risk of dreaded poo cooties. i would of course draw the line at the wiping procedure, unless the monkey arms were really hot.
- dancing. how great would it be to see monkey arms spelling out Y-M-C-A or doing the macarana!? i could enjoy the fun and excitement that arm dancing offers but not suffer after taste of shame and guilt associated with arm dancing.
i challenge all the lame ass scientists that never delivered on promises of flying cars or super spring basket ball shoes. make the future exciting again. monkey arms for the masses!
