Do you know what a cyborg is? If your mind gets swept up in science fiction movies, you most likely think of cyborgs as kind of half-human, half machine characters (the human condition is frequently cleverly portrayed with these characters).

When it comes to history, there are three different kinds of people: people who find history to be amazingly interesting, people who think history is horribly boring, and those who believe history is full of aliens.
