Turn that old 4Runner into an infant incubator
Finding good uses for cars that can no longer drive is always good news. But it's even better when you can recycle old cars into infant incubators using a design from the engineers at Design that Matters. Approximately 3.9 million infants die every year in the developing world, and 1 out of 4 could be saved if they had access to incubators.So, how do incubators come from old cars? The idea came from Dr. Jonathan Rosen, who found that no matter how remote a community is, there always seemed to be a Toyota 4Runner around. He thought that it could be a good idea to strip and alter an old 4Runner so it would become an incubator: the heat for the unit comes from a pair of headlights, an automobile air filter and fan provide the climate control that stabilizes the chamber's temperature and a simple car door alarm signals emergencies. Since there's no shortage of old cars and parts, the project surely has a lot of supplies. Let's hope they get enough funding to see the project flourish.

I told you before and i repeat, the robot-corpses war against skin-corpses peoples is still alive in the memory of the now living in skin-corpses peoples that were living in robot-corpses at the time of this war that happen in the long distance past. The things have changed but memory is still painful and journalists-madscientists-politicians not trusting anyones not goverment related and subsidized have a guilty conscience and are admiting in their ways what they have done in the past on the planet before this one. They studied human-corpse living people with electrics probes-heavy drugs-electric chocks and painful drugs while asking questions about how human attraction between men and women works? Now they see their science as a babies producing machine.

Off the tracks? Hell it's going off the tracks and into the deep end.
Gorr, just a little info... Terminator isn't real. Those comic books you get all your info from aren't real. It's called fiction. F - I - C - T - I - O - N.
