I found only links citing Dennett and the Economist, even Wikipedia don't got an entry for Yahuuz. Is it an Hoax?? Or are they real?? i just googled for the Yahuzz, and I tink you made a point there.

Googled UCAV and the first hit was quite an education. Check this out for a graduate study in the future of air warfare. I’m all for saving lives and minimizing risk but I guess I’m too old school to be comfortable with the idea of completely removing the human intellect from the cockpit.

I understand not everyone will miss the turkey, especially some from the "other" side of the tracks (or base, in Oceana's case), but what the heck. With regards to those of the single-seat flavor ("Nose gunners"...."voice actuated autopilots"...) who would champion the old saying of a NFO (RIO, WSO, GIB, RO, whatever) being not much more than the loss of 200 lbs of extra fuel, it merely adds an underscore to the saying "What do you want? An additional 30 seconds of a burner wave-off or a reliable drinking buddy who'll hang with you all night?" Thanks for the link, Lex.

Not because I’ll miss it all that much - I think I’ve made my feelings clear on that score - but because momma always told me that if I couldn’t say anything nice, then I oughtn’t to say anything at all.
