On the brighter side of the News - Military working on flesh eating Robots...

Fox news by way of memeorandum

A Maryland company is working on a steam-powered robot which can burn biomass from the field of battle (wood, furniture, grass, dead bodies) to keep it going. Or as the news site says:

The advantages to the military are that the robot would be extremely flexible in fuel sources and could roam on its own for months, even years, without having to be refueled or serviced.

To put it better, its' name is -- Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (E.A.T.R.).

I really hope this is an Onion News story.

One of the things that make it better to be 52

By Elliott Lake on Wed, 07/15/2009 - 5:52pm

than 22, in a world like this one, is an idea like that. Stop for a moment and consider the homelife of a person who would come up with an idea like that.

No, don't.
