This is a really scary thought.  I LIKE it.  Hellstrome used walkin' dead to
run some of his creations -- what if automatons weren't the only thing out
there like that?

Also, an author using the name Cordwainer Smith wrote about computers made
from animal brains (put it in a block of plastic, then slice it reeaaal thin
and put it back together).  If a manitou wanted to cause trouble, IMO it could
move into one of these just like it would to create a walkin' dead.

If the tech is out there, they can screw it up.
