    A Maryland company under contract to the Pentagon is working on a steam-powered robot that would fuel itself by gobbling up whatever organic material it can find grass, wood, old furniture, even dead bodies. :eek:

    Now that is just creepy. What if it decides to feed on live humans instead of dead corpses? Talk about your next scifi flick

    It'll all be fine once they invent a bigger robot which feeds on the steam-powered jobby.
    Problem completed.

    Aha, the government's cover-up network is working. Really, they're not robots. It's actually a classified program for the militarization and control of zombies.

    Brilliant idea. If we adapted it we might actually have room on a train and it might be on time!

    I, for one, welcome a blessed, future time - surely close - when this meme shuffles off to the graveyard where it belongs.

    Ironic use is still use.
