New Scientist is one of my favorite magazines. (Right up there with Us Magazine.) Its sober coverage of technological and scientific news is something that I often enjoy with my morning scotch. So, when I saw that they had an article about what to do in case of robot attack, I was deeply concerned.
Drink in hand, I looked out my windows and tried to ascertain whether the day of reckoning was upon us. Although I expected to see my neighbors being chased by Roombas to the sound of the new Global Robot Anthem everything was quiet. Everything was as it should be.
But that day is coming my meaty, raw friends. If you plan on surviving, I suggest that you read this article, memorize it and then perhaps have it tattooed on your thigh. At the very worst it will be interesting reading for your partner during oral sex. At the best, it may just save both of your lives.

Good to know there are scientists on our side preparing for the inevitable rebellion of the robots the other scientists are still trying to develop. Haven’t these mofos seen the Matrix? Terminator? Pour your own damn iced tea and raise your own god damn children.

I like the idea of building robots. But what I find disgusting is that we want to make them our slaves. That seems, to me, to be getting off on the wrong foot.
