Guardian, Feb. 10: "Science and superheroes: how close are we to creating real superpowers?:" [^]
MarketWatch, Feb. 10: "Biohackers implant computers, earbuds and antennas in their bodies:" [^]
"Yeah, they're only putting out 2.5 micro-grams of carbon per minute."
"Wow, you got the upgrade !"
"Well, you know ... I have an 'in' with the company."
"Can you tell what I'm hosting ?"
"Other than the silicon ?"
"Ha ! your arousal level just went from 'platonic' to 'low-horny."
"Well, that tells me you're monitoring infra-red, at least."
"And, heart-beat, and breathing rhythm."
"What ?"
"Yeah, I got that last week, and it includes echo-location."
"Wow: that's an expensive mod !"
"Are you jealous ?"
"mmmm ... no, but you are going to be jealous when I tell you what I am going to get next week ..."
"What ?"
"Your skin temperature on your face just went up a quarter-of-a-degree !"
"Yeah, I am ... I admit it ... I'm turned-on by this stuff !"
"You've heard of the 'Prevaritron Signature' mod ?"
"Hey ... I thought that was just a myth."
"It's not ... in fact, I'm wearing a beta of it right now."
"No way !"
"Way !"
"Well, what does it tell you ?"
"The beta is far from functional, but right now it's telling me that you are bored, disinterested, kind of repulsed by me, and you feel on-the-spot ... because ... maybe ... you don't want to hurt my feelings by just leaving."
"Look, I hope I don't seem cruel ... I mean my gosh we've already ordered dinner ... can't we just enjoy it ?"
"Oh, I cancelled your dinner-order when I went to the bathroom ten minutes ago; it's okay if you want to leave."
"Well, all right."
"Don't worry, I'm going to enjoy my dinner; the Prevaritron says the waiter wasn't lying when he said the lobster is flown in fresh."
"You bastard !"
"You're telling the truth now !""

Let me repeat that unless these are thoroughly understood and remembered, all “general ideas” (so easily acquired, so profitably resold) must necessarily remain but worn passports allowing their bearers short cuts from one area of ignorance to another.» Vladimir Nabokov, commentary on translation of “Eugene Onegin.”

Sounds like a bunch of dorks to me.

If they implant antennas, then does that transform them into antennae ?

Would still be a single-cell organism (granted, a colony of copies of that cell) trying to pass on their genetic material :z

Did you know that Ben Kenobi had a twin brother, Obi Lan Kenobi?

I thought your social network consisted of your laptop, Visual Studio, the coffee machine, and the programmable fridge you bought for Christmas?

Actually I've become frightfully social over the past year. Even started playing guitar in clubs around town.

The same joke for someone who speaks in an Indian accent would be :
Do you know Obi Wan's twin brother Obi Two Kenobi?

You could throw in Obie Trice Kenobi if they were triplets...

If there was any doubt about whether I kinda stretched the joke too far, you've now totally sealed its fate. Luckily there's no down voting here any more. Whew!

I am now fully assimilated in the Windows 10 Borg Cube, but my wife is still out in the cold. I keep telling her that resistance is futile, but then she just glares at me. Scary! What should I do? Threaten her? Plead with her? Any suggestions?
