Frustrated by the quirks, flaws and general squooshiness of the human brain, NASA decided to replace an astronaut's head with a computer. It seems to work just fine, although it could use some additional miniaturization. That's astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper performing a spacewalk with her new head during a mission last November.
Sorry. NASA started it. Happy April Fool's Day from the WeatherBlog.

On Mondays, sometimes everyone's head needs to be replaced by a computer! Very creative.
