Okay, we've read lots of stories about bugs in computers.

In this age of implantible microelectronics, has anyone put a
COMPUTER in a BUG?   That is, a programmable sensor in an insect?

( If this small computer had a defect that caused the insect to crawl
into the engine controller of a Volkswagen, causing the vehicle to
crash through a wall and smash into a large mainframe, would that be a
bug in a computer in a bug in a computer in a bug in a computer? :-) )
