I remember convincing a girl at a uni party that I really, truly, wanted to
replace all my bodily biological goop with "robotic" parts, no matter how
freaky, as long as they confered excellent advantages. Basically, becoming a
cyberman (for all Doctor Who fans out there, although I would remove the
weird vulnerability to gold dust). When she realised that I really meant it,
she bugged right out - she was a jingly jangly, bells on the ankles anthro
student.

Let's here 'em; the freaking-the-mundanes story

(btw, before someone pulls me up on the derogatory tone that I'm using to
refer to my fellow humans, lovely darlings that they are, just remember that
I could have called them danes, humbots, all kinds of 'orrible nyms.)
