I'm loath to ruin anyone's nice time. Y'all have yourselves a shiny thread now. *re-lurks*

If you could have your brain transfered into an android body would you do it? I know for sure I would...

Plus why would you want to give up dreaming? It's pretty interesting to me. I've dreamed up all sorts of crazy things over the years.

Plus I'd think it would be harder to get women as a cyborg. Sure he might have the stamina thing going for him, but there are already battery powered devices around. Humans still have their advantages and disadvantages I guess. Plus plenty of womenfolk like having them there babies a lot.

It's not that I'm perfect looking, it's just that cyborging seems a bit drastic. Think I'll go with something a little less extreme, like a 20 minute walk a day and less chocolate or something.

I want to live forever...

Thinking about it though, I would have to have sensory organs or devices implanted. I like the taste of food way too much, so I'd still want to smell and taste, and I like sex a lot, so I'd still want to feel that.

So, as of now, the ideal android body features :

1- An utter absence of tonsils
2- Fancy arm-canons & stuff
3- Sensory organs
4- ...

Am I missing anything? If you have anything to add now's the time, 'cause once I start mass-producing 'em don't bother asking for custom models

If you haven't begun mass-producing them yet, I'd like a couple extra features on mine-

4- Looks completely human (no wiring bits sticking out of stuff like that)
5- Is changable (features, colors, hair lengh, stuff like that, all able to be changed at a whim)
6- Able to hook up to computers, MP3s, Ipods, cars, whatever, download info, and
7- Have a built-in MP3 so you can listen to music as loud as you want without disturbing anyone else
8- Be able to increase IQ substancially

I'm just picky, aren't I? LOL But could you do that for me, pretty please?
