I can’t help but wonder, after reading the two news articles below, how long it will be before someone really creates an army of killer assassins???
what do you think?? Russians create ‘artificial human brain’
Russian scientists claim to have developed the first artificial brain with the same intellectual potential as a human. The neuro-computer is based on the workings of the human brain cell and can out perform previous brain models. It uses pioneering findings in neurophysiology and neuromorphology to produce a truly thinking machine, scientist Vitaly Valtsev has told the Interfax news agency. He has warned of the potential of the scientific breakthrough, saying the new brain could turn into a Frankenstein monster if mistreated. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_250302.html?menu=news.latestheadlinesSCIENTISTS START TO FUSE TISSUE AND TECHNOLOGY IN MACHINES
The cyborg aims for the light and wheels forward. Another light flashes and the cyborg turns. Again and again, like a bull in a
ring, the cyborg charges, sometimes veering right, sometimes left, sometimes moving straight ahead, always looking for the light. The cyborg is no RoboCop, but it is a revolutionary experiment in combining a mechanical device with living tissue. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A24800-2001Apr16.htmlWho says they haven’t created an army of killer assasins already? If you had, would you tell?

Well, Tolandria, who or what do you imagine that they would look like, The Terminator, The Borg, or Kai?
Well, I would hope that they would look like Kai because when he killed me I would go with a smile on my face…..

Getting paid thirty years to play with wasps??? Critters on a chip? Killer cyborgs? If the latter looks anything like the killer Kai in WTD, we’re done for.
If it’s some doofy box with some gray matter and even less personality than 790 and none of the wit, I don’t think we need to be alarmed; especially if it’s feelings can be hurt. Hah! A touchy Frankenstein!

Ah, yes, I can see it now on:
CNN BREAKING NEWS
“A strange phenomenon is now, at this moment, taking place in a little known, desolate town in Southern Texas. Women from all over the world are pouring in, by the thousands, just to gaze upon the full, sensual lips and to stare into the HAZEL, dreamy, mesmerizing eyes of, who they seem to be calling, Kai, the Devine Assassin, last of the Brunnen G. They are literally loosing their heads over him. What a site! Heads are being sheared off and as they roll on the ground a serene look of extreme ecstasy appears on their faces; lips, still moving, mouthing the name “Kai.”
In other news today….

Excellent, Reveal7!! What a situation to conjure up!! I especially like the part where their lips still are moving mouthing the name “Kai”. LOL… Really seals the definition of Kaidoration, Kaidrooling, Kaimania, etc…. Ya gotta love it….I guess the Headline could read “Chicks with Their Heads Cut Off”

“History makes men, MacLeod, men don’t make history.” -Methos(Highlander)Certainly would make the Texas execution machine continue to run along smoothly. Indeed, I’d imagine the whole female appeals system would be right out the window (and, probably some of the males’, too)
Kinda takes the ‘penalty’ outta death penalty, an assassin with looks like that, doesn’t it?

The fans on the USA Sci-Fi board who are addicted to chocolate (The Chocolate Bar – is open every Friday) would surely consider it a winning, yet deliciously lethal combination; death by KAI and CHOCOLATE. It would simply be just too much to wish for.
Chocolate bunnies, chocolate eggs, chocolate Kai, oh my!
Wait! Reggie Bar, Heath Bar, Kai Bar. Hmmmmm…. all we need is a miniature mold of said assassin and…….. A creamy, dreamy, melt in your mouth sensation.

Chocolate caramel cream Cod.
Reveal7 and nwmonikr – I think we three we separated at birth. You write what I am thinking…..
Ah, the Chocolate Caramel Cream Cod, and the sinfully sweet Kai bar.
Do you guys see the connection here??
Kai – mouth
mouth- KaiXev should have a candy bar, too. Oh, wait a minute, she already does – Mounds Bar!
I see Stan as nutty covered with a soft filling.
And I see 790 as Nestle’s crunch!
Mmmmmmmmmmmm, I wish I had a Kai to eat right now! And he would melt in the mouth, not in the hand!
NB1 has just slapped herself for being so rude…
Hi NB,
Chocolate caramel cream cod bar would absolutely put a Cadbury Cream egg in the shade. Heaven forefend any should melt on your hands. Will you be able to get to UnCon this year?

I am going to try my best, nwmonikr… Right now I am in the process of trying to buy a new home so I sort of have tunnel-vision toward that goal. But once all the dust settles my next target is UnCon!!
If you are there, we shall split a cadbury chocolate bar and we both KNOW what we’ll be thinking!!
This has nothing to do with Kai……but I haven’t gotten enough sleep this week and I’m feeling downright giddy so here goes…
my theory is that brittney spears, christina aguilera and all the other blonde pop star type peoples are atually prototypes for a secret army of clones…it’s ingenious…the armies of the world gear themselves up to face a hoard of cold blooded killers…and instead find themselves facing voloptuaous blonde teenagers…the men will succumb to their wiles and only the women will be left to defend humanity.——————
Gideon: I thought you said you don’t hold a grudge.
Galen: I don’t. I have no living enemies. At all.Yes, but the ensuing massacre of said “voluptuous blonde teenagers” by the remaining women would be EPIC in proportion; because most women over the age of 30 can’t stomach the sight or sound of any of the aforementioned teens. It would be swift and brutal.
Humanity would have nothing to fear from that nasally, teenybopper, army. I can see it now, death by minivan! Like evil spirits of old who could not cross running water, the Blonde Pop Clones would never be able to cross a street. Many an SUV would be sporting a new hood ornament. 😀

Oh, come on. If you can’t laugh at the walking dead, who can you laugh at? – Dan Fielding, “Night Court”
Of Course if Dan had ever met Kai, he might have quickly become one of the dead.Here in the Midwest we have a candy bar called a Cherry Mash. It’s chocolate & nut covered and has a squishy bright pink center. It occurs to me this would be a good Stan bar. For the Stan fans it would be a very good candy as it is flavorful and so sweet it will make your teeth hurt. Bassically he is a sweetie. Too bad he is so easily distracted by a Mounds bar.

A bunch of little “Black Scorpions” running around? “Kai, please kill them!”
I’m in complete agreement with BlackCloud and Lexxfan:
Not only would they become hood ornaments, but I don’t think that they would be able to accomplish much. First, they would agrue over who is smart enough to be in command. That discussion could go on FOREVER. They would all have to stop to color their hair every 3 weeks, let alone get their nails done. Being “Air Heads”, and usually very low on air, they would also have to stop at every corner gas station to get more air and ask for directions. Singing, or trying to sing, would only make things worse. Nosie abatement would take them out before the assassins or anyone else could. Since they would be constanly checking their make-up and not paying attention to what they were supposed to be doing, let alone remember what their assignment was or how to use their weapons, the killer assassins would shear off their pretty, little heads so fast that they wouldn’t even realize what hit them. And, lastly, they would be WHINING AND COMPLAINING ALL THE TIME, much like Jool on Farscape and if I were anywhere in the vicinity, I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM TAKING THEM OUT ALL BY MYSELF!![This message has been edited by Reveal7 (edited April 22, 2001).]
I love Stanley, I really do, I think he needs somebody to make him feel special, someone to talk to and let him lay his head on their soft shoulder….Someone to pat him on the back and say “Stanley, your so strong, handsome and smart” and really mean it… I always feel kinda sorry for him when Xev and Kai are having a “moment” and he’s standing there like a fifth wheel, rolling his eyes…
I think he really loves Lyekka but shesh! Where’s the future there?
Her idea of “Take Out” food is where a guy takes her out and she eats him!!I watched “Luvliner” on tape last night and it took alot of courage for Stanley to tell Lexx to “Go get that Cryopod!” while being threatened with a weapon…

I think our major problem with the Black Scorpian-esque Britney and Christina clones would be attempting to keep the kiddies away from them. We’d have to barricade the kiddies in somewhere so they don’t run screaming into the streets with pads of paper and pens to beg for autographs.
Personally, I’m all for gearing up my nice big beastly Bonneville and running headlong into the Airhead Brigade. I’d be right alongside BlackCloud, LexxFan, and Reveal. But, if we also have Killer Kai Clones running about, all we’d really have to do is point them out to the Airheads and they’d probably go willingly into the Pinchers of Death. The problem still remaining, however, is what to do with the Killer Kai Clones after we’ve used them to defeat the Airheads?

Studies show that alcohol is the leading cause of inexplicable rug-burns to the forehead.Should we really worry that Killer Kai Clones would be under utilized after the defeat of the Blonde Pop Star Clones?
Right off the top of my head I can easily think of enough assignments to keep one busy for months. Let’s see, several municipal government procurement agents would be put out of their misery. This would provide fun for Killer Kai, as taking out petty bureaucrats is something the original Kai seems to have fond memories of. I would enjoy it because the replacements would probably be a lot more responsive to my departments needs.
Then, of course there is always my neighborhood’s budding junior terrorist, or as we all refer to him ‘The Future Sweetheart of Cell Block Seven.’ Not only would this nip that little bit of urban blight in the bud, but it would also serve as a wake up call for his understudies.
Then, I think I would try to get him a job with those poor souls in Code Enforcement. Since he wouldn’t have to worry about guns pointed at him, or having dogs set upon him he would make an excellent agent. I can just see some poor beleaguered elderly widow begged him to do something about the rat trap next door that she has been complaining about for years. He could ‘chat’ with that scofflaw, in his own little Killer Kai way. This would have an amazing effect on the look of our neighborhoods. I can just about guarantee that the scofflaws would see the error of their ways and move the junk cars from their front lawns and clean up the old construction material from the side of their house. If they don’t? Well, the real estate agent working for their estate would. Killer Kai wouldn’t even have to worry about enforcing the law against someone with an ‘IN’ at City Hall. The City Manager would demand his head on a plate and run screaming down the hall when he actually got it. Afterwards, they could take it back to Killer Kai and the whole department could have a good laugh.

I think I can see the Kai Clones on an Are You Being Served? eppy… would make for some interesting incidents.

I think that Hyacinth Bucket would make a splendid addition to the crew of LEXX. She would just love being Stanley’s new protector, in place of Lyekka. Hyacinth vs Giggerotta. Dealing with Xev would be just like dealing with her sister, Rose. She would treat Kai just like her son, Sheridan. She wouldn’t understand him or like the way that he dresses, but she’d love him anyway and try to pamper him all the time, which would drive 790 crazy. I can hear the verbal exchange between 790 and Hyacinth now, can’t you? And then there are her facial expressions…. sort of like Kai in “Tunnels.”
“Stanley…..Stanley…..where are you?”
Richard would finally get some peace and quiet.

finals hate me. I’ve been surviving on nicotine, chocolate, and willpower alone. Since I’m not in the UK, I have no idea what those exams are like. I do, however, know that I have an essay due tomorrow, then a week worth of reviews, then the real hell begins. Friday – work, Saturday- wedding AND a cousin’s college graduation, Sunday – Study Group (please, God, no hangovers), Monday – term paper due, Tuesday – Modern American History and Social Psychology exams, Wednesday – Shakespeare and Early American Lit exams, Thursday – attempt to sell back books to campus bookstore, receive about a hundred dollars less than what I spent… Friday – delayed stress reaction, nervous breakdown, chocolate frenzy.
College was the best form of torture ever invented. At least all my orals are done now. Kill me, Kai, kill me! Please!
erm… I think I’ll go to that rubber room now… sorry this was completely OT, but I feel better having gotten all that off my chest. *needs Lexx and chocolate NOW*

‘A’ levels are the next stage up.I’m not sure about Scotland. I think they do highers like the Irish students do.
The ‘A’ levels are real bummers as you accumulate points depending on the grades you acquire. These point are what counts when you are applying for university, this goes for the highers too I think. I’ve never taken highers but with ‘A’levels it’s about what happens on the day of the exam. You can have an A grade average over 2 years, but if your brain aint in gear on the day…..
I think in terms of the tension ‘A’ levels are the pittshope that has helped

School will seem like your last glimpse at Nirvana before being thrown out of the silvery gates of
paradise into the grey world of drudgery. (please remember, my name is not Mary Sunshine and have a nice good…good luck with your finals! )[/B]

Could not have said it better myself. That is why LEXX is so appealing to me. No mortgages, no bills to pay, they seldom go grocercy shopping, no cleaning, hey!… they don’t even do laundry. If they don’t like the planet that they are on they either leave, or simply blow it into pieces.KOG: Don’t mind me – I really do wish you well on your finals. It may not seem like it right now, but you really are at a wonderfully magical time in your life.

thanks for the best wishes but I’m not the one taking the finals
As I said been there done that. In fact I left school 23 years ago! I did my degree slightly later than normal, but I can still empathise with ‘A’ levels. I hated school music/PE kept me sane I just went crazy when I left haha.
Uiversity was great, I’d go back to that no probs, I’d do a different degree though. Uni was much better than real life…sighKog

yup, elfkin, at the risk of driving you into a depression driven chocolate coma, university/college is as good as it ever gets, then you start paying taxes
fortunately i realized it at the time (as i am sure you do too ) and made sure to misspend my youth as enthusiastically as possible…ps, dont forget to rub some cigarette ashes under your eyes for dark circles so you can win some sympathy points from the profs kog, thanx for the clarification, i had a dim idea that english schools were based on some sort of point system (as are many latin american and european universities) but now i get it, so if you shoot your wad prior to the exam, you can be hosed on your university/career…aaaacckkkkk! a lot like our national tests except we don’t get ranked (too many of us i guess, and this weird american idea that everyone should go to college! regardless of aptitude or desire i mean)
