Australian cops plan fight against half-robot clones.

No, seriously?
Technology such as cloned part-robot humans used by organised crime gangs pose the greatest future challenge to police, along with online scamming, Australian Federal Police (AFP) Commissioner Mick Keelty says.

...

"Our environmental scanning tells us that even with some of the cloning of human beings - not necessarily in Australia but in those countries that are going to allow it - you could have potentially a cloned part-person, part-robot," he said.

Christ, he is serious! D: He's the head of police in Australia and he's worried about cyborg clones!? (and online scamming I suppose)

    Apparently, parts of coastal Australia have problems with jellyfish, approximately the size of dimes, which have a sting powerful enough to kill humans.

    As an Australian I can only hope he has been misquoted or taken out of context in some manner.

    Unfortunately the transcript of the proceedings hasn't been published yet so I can't check what he actually said but the written submission from the Australian Federal Police (link: 10 page PDF ) doesn't say anything about biotechnology or robotics, it simply mentions an increasing use of digital communications and the risks posed by future drugs.

    Well I've seen the Australian battle orders for
    *Alien Invasion
    *Abhuman Invasion (More "28 Days Later" than Night of the Living Dead)
    *Alien Infection (Like super sars)
    *Robots (although this was more of a joke than anything, there were transformer/voltron pics in it, with jokes etc - I think they got bored)

    Somewhere up here in Canada, there was a small town that put out a newspaper article about putting together a plan in case of invasion by the living dead. This was back when there was that April Fool's news story circulating about some virus that made people act just like zombies. I wish I could remember the name of the town or the paper, because now it will bother me all day.

    It's part of the great Australian conspiracy.

    In reality none of us actually drink alcohol by choice we just do it infront of foreigners to perpetuate the myth.

    It's funny how much you guys believe what we tell you. I mean did you really think there was such thing as a platypus? Or that New Zealand is an actual country?

    This is of course a vast and complicated coverstory so we may continue trying to perfect our cyborg men that will eventually overtake society.

    The policemen ratted us out and will be dealt with.
