A Thin Line Between Genius And Insanity...

A man who has an Opal card implanted in his hand has been fined for not having a valid ticket but is refusing to pay up.
Whut..?
The scientist, who calls himself Meow Ludo Disco Gamma Meow Meow....
*rolls eyes*
...has been swiping on and off for months using an implanted chip from an Opal card. Everytime he beeps through the turnstile, Meow Ludo defies authority in the name of technology. Now, his rogue ways have landed him in court. "I'm flabbergasted, I think it's ridiculous," he said.
Me too, Meow Ludo Disco Gamma Meow Meow, me too....
Transport for NSW maintains it doesn't support Opal cards being tampered with or damaged and customers who do so may have their card cancelled. But, for now, Meow's implanted one still works.
Well, maybe I shouldn't laugh at him, since my c2c ticket regularly demagnetises itself & has to be replaced...

There may be a thin line between genius and insanity but this person is a long way into the realms of the utterly bonkers. At lest he doesn't seem to be a threat to anyone else, though.

Well, not yet. Until SkyNet comes on line, anyway...
