This news bit about scientists getting people to sense things with their tongues is freaky:
By routing signals from helmet-mounted cameras, sonar and other equipment through the tongue to the brain, they hope to give elite soldiers superhuman senses similar to owls, snakes and fish.
It’s almost like Spidey-sense! Ah, the power of the tongue - if this thing works, these soldiers apparently will be able to do more with it than just be cunning linguists.
