Aug 1 2008I Called It!: The Apocalypse Is Nigh
When running from a robot, you only have to run faster than your children. Which should be easy because you tied their laces together, right? If you answered, "I would never!", then it's been nice knowing you, but you're robot fodder. Anyway, remember the post a while back about Robokiyu (pronounced Robokillyou), a robot used to extract the wounded in emergency rescue situations? Well, unsurprisingly, the robot is now going to be used to eat the dead instead of the living. Why? Because everybody the robot came to "rescue", no matter how badly injured, actually tried crawling away from the damn thing. Can you blame them? Absolutely not. Like my grandpa always told me, "I'd rather have all my red run out than let one of them thar robotech sums of bitches nom nom my gray spaghetti. You understand what I'm tellin' ya, boy?" I'd shake my head "no", but he'd keep right on, "Good, now fetch the hootch and I'll tell you about the time I caught your pa humpin' a tractor."

OLDasurus Rex! but awesome. If i had one i would drive that shit to work everyday while pounding down beers. fitting it in the elevator would be a bitch but I'm sure if i had it eat everyone else in the elevator it would fit.

They should just put the dead in a bodybag and come out through the other end. (Robots might call it a bag for the meatbag)
But looks like after it eats you, it'll take a break and pour itself a beer...
