Made me laugh, "survive-a-robot-uprising"

Ok, this just made me laugh, so I had to share it. Maybe in 100 years it won't be so funny.

I think I might have picked one up many years & drinks ago. I never did find the batteries or the off switch.

I am already prepared. I went to a junkyard and got myself a bunch of magnetrons out of about a dozen used microwave ovens. I am assembling them into a device that will fry the circuits of any robot in a 3-mile radius.

Oh my God, Flavor Bear....Spud never offered you a spot at the compound with that kind of defensive technology at your disposal?

That was probably the last time that show was actually funny.

Unfortunately they do not mention the dangers of pusher-bots pushing people down the stairs.

OMG ROTFLMAO! I hope I qualify for old Glory Insurance.

I've been contacting my representatives pushing for a new constitutional amendment. The Asimov Amendment will prevent just that sort of thing from happening by laying down stringent rules that robots will have to adhere to:

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

If the pusher bots and cane trippers ever get a foot hold without the Asimov Amendment in place, it will be the SHTF!

That all sounds acceptable to us.

Asimov's Laws of Robotics were just wishful thinking! If they applied, the pusher bot would not have pushed my grandma down the stairs and scribbled swastikas all over the walls!

**Rick** · 07-07-2008, 07:15 AM

Well, if you think about it she was pretty lucky. They could have pushed her up the stairs and scribbled all over HER! Now that's just wrong.

Well she also caught on fire. It was the worst Christmas ever.

Wait....if we do have a robot uprising, will they be able to control our computers? Because then they could see what we are talking about here and create ways to get around our defenses. I hope Geek Squad is ready.......

**BraggSurvivor** · 07-18-2008, 12:31 AM

We don't have a chance......... between the Zombies and the Bots, were all toast.

well at least she didn't get runned over by a reindeer she had incriminating hoof marks on her back which begs the question should we still open her presents or send them back
