Gerrymandering and Bolo Ties: Entry 16: Everything would be better with Cyborgs except real life.

Hello everyone and welcome to my momentous 20th blog. Why is it so momentous you ask? Simple. I did not think I'd stick with it for as long as I have, and I'm thoroughly impressed that I've gotten this far and have written nonsensical entries about things people don't care about for this long. It's truly an accomplishment and I deserve all the praise in the world. Just kidding. But seriously, I was looking over my views and this blog has been clicked 306 times. That's pretty awesome for only having 19 entires up til now. So, even though no one's commenting, it feels okay knowing that people are at least maybe reading my ramblings. That is, the stark raving ramblings of a deranged college student, etc. Anyway. Today's entry is on one mere topic. And I feel like it'll be a good one. Today's topic: Cyborgs.

The earliest median that I've ever seen with a Cyborg was an old Doctor Who episode from the 60's featuring the Cybermen where the said Cyberman would take human bodies and replace parts with mechanical prosthesis and were emotionless creatures driven by logic. Not to be confused with Vulcans, which is what this blog is NOT about. Our popular culture is chop full of Cyborgs with all sorts of goals. You have the villainous cyborgs, like Metallo, the Superman villain....Cyborg Superman....the Green Lantern and Superman villain, Anakin Skywalker, Androids 16-20(The English dub of Dragonball Z called them Androids, but believe me, they're cyborgs.), The Borg from Star Trek, Doctor Claw from Inspector Gadget, General Grievous from Star Wars, Gigan from Godzilla, etc. etc. etc.You have the hero Cyborgs, like Cyborg of the Teen Titans, Deathlok the Demolisher of Marvel Comics, Robocop, the Spartan from Wildstorm Comics, etc. And then you have people like the Terminator who are both depending on the movie you watch.(He's actually an Android...) Cyborgs are in SO much media, and the purpose of this entry is for you, the reader, to agree in seeing just how essential Cyborgs are in every day life.

Before, we go into more detail about why we should have more Cyborgs in everything, let's distinguish between robots, androids, and cyborgs. Robots are just machines. Period. Androids? Robots that look like humans. Cyborgs? A mix of man and machine! An abomination to everything good and holy as we know it! And thusly, that is why we should have more Cyborgs in everything....Except real life. If you notice in the previous paragraph, there are not many heroic cyborgs. They take the gifts that some scientist gave them and use them for sheer EVIL. Uncle Ben Parker would be ashamed.(With great power comes great responsibility, etc.) So with that said, imagine if every book you're reading had a cyborg in it? Say you're reading David Copperfield. What if he was a Cyborg? Say you're reading the Three Musketeers. What if the de-facto leader, Athos, was a Cyborg? What if in the story of Jonah and the Whale, the whale was a Cyborg?(There should be more aquatic based Cyborgs in general). What if we add them to movies. What if in Philadelphia, Tom Hanks is a Cyborg?(this would carry over to Forrest Gump a year later, obviously.)....(Although, when he had those leg braces on, he kind of WAS a Cyborg.) What if Andy from Toy Story had a Cyborg toy that was better than Buzz at everything because he's a Cyborg? Anyway, the point is. Everything would be better with a Cyborg. And now, I'm just going to rattle off some pictures of notorious cyborgs listed in an earlier paragraph. I hope you've enjoyed this bizarre entry, because I sure enjoyed writing it.
