ASIMO the Robot Assassin, The Solution To All Our Problems & Will Smith’s Laughter

So another thing you should know about me is that I’m fascinated anything that indicates that indicates that science fiction movies are becoming reality. Robots, specifically, though not exclusively. Check out this crazy guy:

His (or her) name is ASIMO and what’s fascinating about this footage is how well the robot is moving…thought he kind of looks like he’s constantly sneaking up on someone to possibly murder them. It wasn’t long ago that bipedal robots shuffled around as if they’ve been stricken by a severe arthritis, but this guy has a bounce in his step that suggests he’s been doing jazzercise.

And speaking of robots that move well, ceck out the coolest thing I’ve ever seen (jump straight to the coolest part here):

Now imagine that beast, but 5 times bigger, and with a cannon mounted on it’s back. I believe that would take care of most of our problems.

And on the micro technology side of things, they’ve built a nano car. Not sure what it’s useful for - I’m praying it something because it apparantly took them 6 years to put it together - but I can not wait to have Dennis Quaid driving around in my blood vessels.

Before we pop the champagne and celebrate the fact that the dawn of a new era is here, we might want to remember that not all technology is good - just because we can do it, doesn’t always mean we should do it.

Oh and btw, I happened upon further disturbing evidence regarding Will Smith and his descent in to Tom Cruise-like madness. He’s even got the Scientology laugh down. That crazy I’ve-practiced-this-laugh-in-front-of-a-mirror-to-appear-more-human-like kind of laughter.

And speaking of non-humans infiltrating our society, I’ve found this thing late one night whilst killing time online. Now I know it’s something completely harmless, but it sounds fucking creepy - especially when you find it in the middle of the night just as insanity is starting to set in.
