You know that old sci-fi movie in which a computerized house traps and rapes a woman?

And it even impregnates her with synthetic DNA in order to make itself a "human body"? And the woman gives birth to a baby who says, with a James Earl Jones-y voice, "I LIVE!"?

Well, I saw another version of that movie. One in which the aforementioned baby is DEAD!

I LOVED IT!!!!!

2. Proteus? Interesting.

I'm a big fan of Greek mythology. Have been since I was a kid. Anyway, about Proteus:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteus

In Greek mythology, Proteus (Πρωτεύς) is an early sea-god, one of several deities whom Homer calls the "Old Man of the Sea"<1>, whose name suggests the "first" (from Greek "πρῶτος" - protos, "first"), as protogonos (πρωτόγονος) is the "primordial" or the "firstborn". He became the son of Poseidon in the Olympian theogony (Odyssey iv. 432), or of Nereus and Doris, or of Oceanus and a Naiad, and was made the herdsman of Poseidon's seals, the great bull seal at the center of the harem. He can foretell the future, but, in a mytheme familiar from several cultures, will change his shape to avoid having to; he will answer only to someone who is capable of capturing him. From this feature of Proteus comes the adjective protean, with the general meaning of "versatile", "mutable", "capable of assuming many forms". "Protean" has positive connotations of flexibility, versatility and adaptability. The earliest attested form of the name is the Mycenaean Greek 𐀡𐀫𐀳𐀄 po-ro-te-u, written in Linear B syllabic script.<2>

To a certain extent, the mythological figure Proteus was turned into Poseidon in the common concepts of Greek mythology. So, Proteus is no more.
