Another carnivorous robot? Ahem. "YAAAAAHHH!"

Sure, this seems like a good idea now. It isn't that long ago some clever fellows gave us the Slug-bot, another little doozy of an automaton.

Really, what disturbs me the most is the thought that by the time the robots are well designed enough to weed out the slower, weaker, stupider parts of the human race I'll probably be one of those old, slow members of the herd.

Which is not to say that I'm really in favor of eugenics as much as I want to go on record as saying "meat-eating is generally pretty cool, but it becomes scary when you remember that people can be meat too."
