"We will be limited only by our own imagination"

I was thinking then, of a slot near the door, where you would insert a Mars Bar and the car would sprint 50 miles on 25 short, hairy (although that would be an optional extra) organic legs.

Or perhaps an organic brain instead of an ECU. `I`m not starting - I have a headache`

Or maybe you could re-create the sadistic school headmaster of mine - long gone - have him as a sans brain (small alteration to the genome there, very small) attraction in the City centre where you bend over for a little long due correction.. For old times sake, as it were.

Using the word `nice` in an essay, or starting a sentence with `And` would all start that lashing motion - but this time the end of the cane that used to splinter - and the black tape, would heal themselves - being of course synthetic life forms themselves.

Is your imagination limited? I bet not. What do you want creating?

And if we ever create a creator - what does that mean?
