    Interesting news John. I think it will be a long, long time before something, if anything will come of this.If it's true and such. One commenter said at least it makes our brains stray away from the doldrum of casual thoughts.

    I love sientific stuff. Always have!!!!
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    This is neat... got me all tingly with excitement. Just imagine the possibilities. (Yes, the terrifying possibility of it going horribly wrong is there) Maybe I'm too much a sci-fi nerd, but this seems really neat!
