You think we’re making this whole “War on Animals” thing up? We’re not. We are just connecting the dots for you, not so much like Glenn Beck, because we don’t get all weepy, but more like Lou Dobbs, because we stand firm in our anti-animal beliefs.

Then this s&$% happens.

Discovery News tells us in this far-too-brief blog post that the military is creating cyborg beetles to act as spies. And yes, that is the greatest sentence ever written, thank you for asking. Cyborg. Beetles. Scientists can now control the flight of some beetles with electrodes stimulating the bug’s brain. OK, that’s the greatest sentence ever written.
