so...at work last week we had yet another team bonding session to "strategic plan" where we want to be five or ten years down the track (i failed to mention that if i was still in the organisation in five or ten years, my strategic plan was to execute some sort of murder/suicide pact). anyhow it was all routine boredom until one of the senior managers suggested that the future direction for our detection area was not in remote control robotic devices to detect nasty substances, oh no, but rather we should be investing in engineered "smart" rats that could be sent in to hot zones where us humans daren't go...
suffice to say this comment kept hung, kate and i amused for days thinking about a rat in a gas mask entering a hot zone and giving a-ok paw signals back to base, diffusing various explosive devices with it's little rat paws, and squeaking out warnings.
then yesterday, kate found this:
