Submission + - China: Remote Controlled Pigeons
BillsBayou writes: Reuters, via Yahoo! News, reports that Chinese scientists have developed a technology to control the flight of pigeons. "The implants stimulate different areas of the pigeon's brain according to signals sent by the scientists via computer, and force the bird to comply with their commands." I have no idea what use there is for remote controlled pigeons except perhaps to dive-bomb ex-wives and husbands. The scientists seem to be very excited about their breakthrough, however.
