The "brain", grown from 25,000 neural cells extracted from a single rat embryo, has been taught to fly an F-22 jet simulator by scientists at the University of Florida.

I can see it now: boarding a 797 in 2030, being welcomed by pilot and co-pilot Rat who will be flying us over the Atlantic.

Heck with the Mexicans and Chinese, we can start outsourcing to animals. Rats would work for trash...literally.

Lol, what happens though if someone in the cabin starts munching on some cheese during the flight? Then we would have another 'Lost'...

In other news, this new tech has started a new cold war. The Chinese are countering with cat brains flying their fighters.
