Mad Scientists: Bird Drones

 Real birds. Dead birds. Now repurposed as drones.   Not clear where they're getting the dead birds from; road kill, taxidermists, or what.

Lab Meat

 I wouldn't eat it. Too futuristic mad scientist for me. I don't eat meat anyway; just some fish and chicken or turkey. "Shmeat." The meat is created in a lab, from living animal cells. I'm reminded of that heart wrenching and horrific scene from Torchwood, where a giant living creature was kept chained in a room, and slices of its flesh taken for consumption. (Yes, I know it was fiction.)
