    ... and Surrogates [​IMG] LMAO gotta luv 'logical' conclusions

    [​IMG]

    Set in a futuristic world where humans live in isolation
    and interact through surrogate robots, a cop is forced
    to leave his home for the first time in years in order to
    investigate the murders of others' surrogates.

    I saw that movie.  It was pretty good.  Not heads-in-a-jar though.

    BTW your image link is broken.

    I think they will be able to clone us before they can create surrogates as depicted in the movie.  They've already cloned everything else and actually want to un-extinct some pigeons ala Jurassic Park.  Because we don't have enough pigeons I guess.

    When you link to a image that is saved on another web server you are bandwidth robbing their service which is poor etiquette.  The appropriate way to do it is to copy (download) the image and save (upload) it to the server where it will be linked.  Even better is to give attribution to the original website via a link.

    I know, I'm JUST incorrigible [​IMG]
    ... In most cases I have no issues w/ it if I'm helping promote their product or website.
    ... Except in this case it would have been wrong if it had worked.

    BTW, I think if they want to create a new bird they should create living Turducken.  That would make the holiday cooking a lot easier.
