The Machines will rise up!

Post by Mike »

The first barrage of attacks have started, the robots are revolting and killing people. Panic and run for this hills. This robot lawn mower killed its operator when falling down a hill! I bet it did it on purpose.

Not only that but how unlucky would you have to be to die by a lawnmower falling on top of you?!

Imagine the final thought of the poor sod.

Also, what the hell do you tell their loved ones?

I thought he was unlucky when the mower fell on him, but now I have met you lot I think it is probably the best thing that ever happened to him . . . . . :twisted:

Well that is what an evil Mike would say. Its just a minor suggestion!

That mower is frigging huge! If that got up a bit of speed and he didn't see it until it was too late...damn. I'll wager someone was using it on a stupidly steep slope.

Watching the advert from the manufacturer it will actually work on slopes of up to 40 degrees which is pretty impressive in its own right. Did you see the clip of it being used on a winch so it can do steeper areas?! Freakin weird man.

Heh, I wasn't going to admit to watching all the video...but the rotating wheels are cool: those are the sort of thing some people need for parallel parking.

Maybe you should change the thread title to "The machines will fall down! On your head!"?

This child robot is the most weird and freaky thing I have ever seen. The You Tube video.

The facial expression near the end is the worst of the lot! eyuk!

He is probably better removed from thew gene pool. Anybody with an ounce of common sense would have stood at the top of the bank looking down at the machine. Most hings find it terribly difficuly to fall up hills.

Unless you happen to be in Ankh Morpork and then things you least expect will fly upwards. Mainly I am talking about poo which is why the river stinks as much as it does.

As a wise monkey once said "If you have poo, fling it now!"

Nice and sunny today. Don't feel like working!
