Easter
Sorry but a festival about a guy who dies and then comes back makes me tad uncomfortable.
A few posts back I mentioned the Onion panel discussion on whether or not the current crop of computer games: Left4Dead, Fallout3 or Fallen Earth are adequately preparing our children for the post apocalyptic world.

The Rise of the machines has started. Just wait until those child robots grow up.

ReplyDeleteAnd this quote "In coming decades, Asada expects science will come up with a "robo species" that has learning abilities somewhere between those of a human and other primate species such as the chimpanzee." Chimps? robot chimps?!!!?!!!
ReplyDeleteSo not only do I have to worry about robots, zombies, giant mutant space frogs,pandemics,Art Garfunkel, and Blarkon, there's also cybernetic chimps in the offing.
Planet of The Bloody Robot Apes! Sheesh, I need a drink.
