Your Tax Dollars Bringing Armageddon Just a Little Closer
From the file marked “Evidently, many scientists have never seen even one scary sci-fi movie,” the U.S. Defense Department is funding research into battlefield robots that fuel themselves by eating human corpses. What could possibly go wrong?
Let’s see: “human” scientists are inventing robots that can kill us and robots that will eat us to stay powered up. Who are these “human” scientists anyway? Has anyone scanned them to make sure they don’t have titanium endoskeleton? Red lights for eyes?
Who needs devils and Antichrists, plagues and boils, earthquakes and brimstone to bring about The End when you have the US Defense Department?

The Wired report’s gossip should have been balanced with reality from this planet, such as statements from Cyclone Power Technologies in the article,
“Company Says No ‘Flesh-Eating’ Ground Drones”, which notes:
It is vegetarian, the company said in a press statement released Thursday, in response to stories with headlines such as “Dawn of the corpse-eating robots?” and “Pentagon contracts company for flesh-eating robots”…
Cyclone said RTI’s EATER will be able to find, ingest and extract energy from biomass — that is, “twigs, grass clippings and wood chips — small, plant-based items for which RTI’s robotic technology is designed to forage.
“Desecration of the dead is a war crime under Article 15 of the Geneva Conventions, and is certainly not something sanctioned by DARPA, Cyclone or RTI,” the company said.
