Warriors of the future will 'taste' battlefield

PENSACOLA, Florida (AP) -- In their quest to create the super warrior of the future, some military researchers aren't focusing on organs like muscles or hearts. They're looking at tongues.

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.

Freaky. So I wonder if the human race will *survive* long enough to develop yet an another kick-ass technology for the purposes of wiping each other out? Sounds like a FarCry moment to me...
