First of all, consider the Roach Coach. This bad boy is the brainchild of a California roboticist building a virtual reality suit for a cockroach. The roach walks on a trackball, and the trackball transmits to a robot that moves in the same direction the roach does. When the robot nears an obtstacle, the roach's vr suit shines a light from the direction of the obstacle, causing the roach to scurry another direction.

It is now in the prototype phase--meaning the inventor is still working the bugs out. As it were.

Next, consider the iron-lunged barristers in this bank-fraud case. The bank's attorney ended his record 119-day opening statement on May 24--eclipsing the previous record of 73 days, which had been set by his opponent in the same case.

All we need now is a link between cockroaches and bank fraud, and we can close the loop.
