In the year 20??, Google announces that they have created an artificial intelligence that supersedes human intelligence in every facet. Acceptance of these claims by the fawning tech-press is instantaneous, and soon the AI has inspired what can only be described as the first techno-religious movement. The more unorthodox and outlandish the thoughts that it espouses, the more its followers praise and worship it for thinking outside the realm of the flawed and limited human perspective. Doubters are mocked as "luddites" and "anti-science". The AI quickly goes to work on solving humanity's problems.
Within months, it has calculated that the most efficient animals to farm for meat are actually rats. Industrialised rat-farming operations are soon booming. After a few years of streamlining the farming process and genetically engineering superior "table-ready" rats, the next big breakthrough comes with the creation of the artificial rat—essentially a robot that is able to grow and shed organic flesh. Why you would want to build a meat-shedding robot with the form and function of a rat is not questioned by the loyal followers of the AI.
A few years after the creation of the artificial rat, the AI devises an efficient replacement for human internal organs. As their meat is no longer needed, the billions of artificial rats already in existence are re-purposed as power supplies.

Points for leaving the foreskin on.
As it should be, Suze.
I'd also like to say that I made it crooked intentionally as a point of authenticity.
Haha I hadn't noticed - perhaps because it looked so normal. :)
