It's going out on Radio National and 702 at this moment... long 
quotes from Captain Cyborg, no questioning of his credibility in the 
field or the technical possibility of the claim. They're interviewing 
people critical of the idea, but no-one pointing out that it's all 
bollocks in the first place.

The ABC have extended the myth further - the announcer introduced the 
program with "A professor in Britain *has implanted* an 
eleven-year-old girl...".

The media need a "Kevin Warwick" flag, like the alerts that customs 
officers get for certain people...
