      Roaches need like to recharging. All is fun until you tame a cockroach to drop cyanide into somebodies coffee or 1 gram of shaped explosive charge on somebodies jugular when they sleep. Now imagine thousands of them swarming an entrenched position or building, or crawling in a bunker

      A little at a time. We need to get comfortable doing this to cockroaches before we can start large scale testing on humans

    Cyborg cockroaches were used to find survivors in the recent Myanmar earthquake

    I say we see what other insects and small animals we can turn into cyborgs

    Me, haunting those responsible for the wording:

    The Spirit of the Harvest Moon is a spirit and the main antagonist from "The House of Discontent" S2E12p1 of Courage The Cowardly Dog Show. It is a giant floating bald head of a moon-esque man: with glowing white skin, scowling black lips, and pure black eye sockets. not a cyborg.
