The Monkey Machine

Until this video was released, the human population was divided in to two groups. One group that believed the human race would be destroyed by robots, and one group that expected it to be dominated by monkeys. Nobody considered the horrific possibility that our fate could be both of those things: Monkeys controlling robots.





In the video above, a monkey has wires inserted into its brain, and those wires convert the monkey-brainwaves into electronic signals that control the robotic arm that holds food for the monkey. So the monkey uses the arm to move food to its mouth. Big deal right? Wrong. If you can find the longer version of this clip (probably already removed) you can see extra footage where the monkey uses the arm to kill the doctor who drilled into the poor monkey's skull.
