All this stuff about robots…they seem so great right? But just when we start to trust these docile creatures they go all haywire on us and it’s starting NOW, no matter what inane creature the Japanese robot constructor showed us yesterday. A guy in Sweden was attacked by a huge robot built for lifting stones. Some reports say it grabbed him by the head and chucked him around and other reports say it simply whooped his ass like a trained killer collecting his debt (four broken ribs and a close-to-death experience, that is). You can make jokes about factory workers being dumb they might as well have rocks in their heads or even get alchemical and clever and talk about the Philosopher’s Stone (aka the brain) in relation to this incident, but we’d just prefer to back off the humor just in case the internet is friends with this machine of rage and wish this guy a safe and happy convalescence.

holy crap, talk about more than meets the eye. this worker is going to be scarred for life, literally and figuratively. he might have to sell all his electronics and live like a middle-ager, all candles and fingerpuppets from here on.

holy fuck. this is just like robocop 2. we are fucked, unless a half man, half robot can unite our two races, and end this bitter struggle for global domination before it begins

I started making a rocks in the head joke, but then my computer became self-aware and murdered my mom. And by that, I mean it showed her my porn cache and she said she could die of embarrassment. But still… I love robots.
