look out humanity!

wow. more disturbing news from the front lines of the robotics newsroom.
check it: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,532492,00.html?test=latestnews
a brief synopsis:
a company in mary-land, under pentagon contract, is working on building robotic warriors that eat "biomass" for fuel. what exactly do they mean by "biomass," you ask? oh you know...like...uh...grass and plants and wood and...people!!! i'm not freakin kiddin' you folks! it's a people-eating robot! dude - it's name is even EATR!!!
read the article. read it and tell me that there aren't folks out there trying to help robots rule the world (maybe those folks ARE robots!!).

every 6 months...

back again folks. picture this: you've come to the dentist for a cleaning. you've picked this particular office because you've heard that the wait is never long. it's not until you're in the chair that you realize the reason for their ease of scheduling is that they have an entire fleet of Dentitron 42s. holy crap (pardon the fran-says). it's a little unnerving, however, you've heard that this particular model is the latest and greatest in dental robotics (not even in the same class as the Dentibots). so you tell yourself that it'll be okay, for gosh sakes, it's not like you're the first one to get your teeth cleaned by one of these "all the bells and whistles" tin men. are you crazy?!? run!!! it's a freakin' robot! but noooooo, you don't. you sit there sweating. the robot engages his cleaning protocol. but what's this? why the drill?? his x-ray eyes detect a problem and suddenly the cleaning protocol is on standby. let me ask you this: do you think a robot gives a gosh-darn about Novocain? i don't think so, buddy. in fact, i assert that it does not. this, no doubt, will be your worst dental experience ever.
just another tiny little trouble due to robots.
