Ohoooh and speaking of monkeys!!!! I'm SO glad that this thread went this 
direction!!!

Now lets say, hypothetically, OK.. that you build this robot, right?  but it 
doesn't have a CPU in it. got that, so Instead, you use a monkey's brain in 
place of the CPU. get it? a MONKEY'S BRAIN!! Now since the robot isn't alive 
till you give it a means to control itself, be it a monkey brain or a 
computer, and you just happen to be using a spidermonkey brain, which god 
originally gave life to, would it be a sin then? Or would it depend on 
whether you took the brain from a dead or a live monkey? I bet if you took 
it from a live monkey, it wouldn't be a sin...or would it? If you took the 
brain out of the monkey, but let the brain live in a robot, would you really 
be killing the monkey? or just cutting off a part that.......it didn't need 
any more? kinda like fingernails.... but a little more extensive, because in 
that case you really wouldn't be killing the monkey, but I bet that if you 
took it from a dead monkey, it would be even more of a sin because then 
you'd be resurrecting a monkey, which is a feat only jesusmunkey can get 
away with. Unless........ you could find the monkey messiah (son of monkey 
god) then maybe you could get away with bringing his brain back to life in a 
robot and monkey god wouldn't smite you, because your monkey brain died, 
albeit temporarily for the sins of other monkeys... and if you've ever been 
to the zoo, boy howdie can those monkeys sin. Do you think they're born with 
those hairy palms?  It's amazing that they haven't all gone blind for god's 
sake!
