    So,

    you manage to blag yourself a loan of this thing, what do you do?

    http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2009-05/man-machine

    Personally, i'd test it's strength on Mary Harney, then just start swinging randomly as i am making the rough assumption that anyone standing close to her is guilty of complete stupidity as well.

    Did he find all the stuff to build that lying around the house?
    I'd start checking what's missing out of the Army stores.

    You would ideally need to find a giant lizard or pterodactyl. Perhaps in the earth's core.

    Then let them fight it out on a cliff or in Times Square.

    I'd ask the OP to get more in touch with his spiritual/gay side.

    Women love it.

    Damn! that lad is one hell of an engineer. Men in sheds FTW.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Answer 1-Isn't a robot

    Answer 2-Isn't a great guy

    Answer 3-Isn't an awesome boards member




    Vote Answer 1, 2, or 3, first right answer gets a go in the giant robot.
    I'd start doing the robot.

    Careful now, they haven't given the sex of the robot yet (and whether he/she/it is single).

    That robot is so good, it's almost as good as:

    You should really dump him. What loser isn't interested in big robots.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,945 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    I would kick that robot's ass.
    The one comment on the story is priceless.

    I don't think the spire is extensible, unfortunately.

    No, please don't - I walk through there everyday, you'd get me too :(

    If this isn't bullshit why is there only one photo and no videos? I hope it's true but would you spend four years building an 18 foot mechanised body suit and then upload a single picture to the web?

    What is everyones problem with Mary Harney??? All this Mary Harney bashing isn't funny but tedious. Its as bad as "Yore Ma" tbh. Shes one politician trying to reform a broken system and all pepole can do is comment on her appearance... for shame

    yes it is a shame



    her appearance


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,084 ✭✭✭oppenheimer1

    her appearance

    Hardy-har-har

    Seriously though, shes a good politician trying her best to take on the unions and vested interests within the health system that are making reform next to impossible to achieve... And all people here can do is comment on her appearance. People, well the vast majority, wouldn't say the things they say about her to an overweight girl. She shouldn't be any different and deserves the respect that should be given to any human being, what ever they look like.

    Mary, is that you? Did you take a few moments between icecream-corner and pancake-party to sign up to boards?

    Mary Harney also known as the T-900 Harminator would destroy that robot with a kick to the Metal Mickey, place its 18 foot lifeless mechanical corpse on a baggette, garnish with chuttney, e-voting machines and tomatoes
    and consume.
