Just Like A Worm, Except Terrifying: Killing Snakebot Only Results In Smaller Snakebots
Remember Israel's robotic snake army? Well now when you cut them they just turn into more, littler robotic snakes. Which is exactly why we'll have to burn them.
Instead of being built like a normal snake with a head at one end and a tail at the other, each segment of this snakebot is totally self-contained with a brain, sensors, motors, and batteries. While the segments are designed to work together to form a long, stealthy snake that can do things like stand up and climb trees, each segment is capable of operating by itself if the snake gets damaged.
The segments can also be configured with alternate payloads, which are separated from the rest of the snake to perform their own missions. So, if the snakebot needs to plant a listening device, it can just disconnect a little piece of itself and leave it behind to eavesdrop. It can also detach segments packed with explosives if it's feeling ornery.
Freakin' snakebots. You know the only thing more frightening than a snakebot? A spiderbot. Which, that reminds me of a joke: What has eight legs, is cold as ice and is climbing your leg right now to bite your nards off? Your girlfriend. Zing!
Trying to kill this snakebot just makes more snakebots [dvice]

Because Mother Nature is completely out of her f***ing mind, decapitated rattlesnakes can still strike and cripple/kill their enemies up to an hour after being decapitated. They can't fly though, so now would be a good time to start saving for that jetpack. Rattlesnake venom ... / Continue →
