behold the grim face of science!
remote-controlled, headless zombie-flies!  

What can we really say about this, besides "Good lord, the scientists have gone mad with power!!!"

From BoingBoing:
"scientists report that they can control fruit-flies remotely -- by shooting lasers at their neurons. Cool enough, but then they tore the heads off a few flies, and found they were still able to stimulate the remaining neurons -- and even induce them to fly. That's right: Remote-controlled headless zombie flies."

Creeeeeeeeeeeepy. (watch the linked video. Ewww.)
