1. A robotic arm is very powerful that’s why they are fenced in. If you go into the gorilla cage the gorilla may kill you.

2. I am sorry to hear of the loss of life, but had to include this if you have not seen it http://twitchy.com/2015/07/02/fiction-becomes-fact-journalist-sarah-oconnor-reports-on-killer-robot-in-germany/

3. Don’t ever get in the way of a tamale and HRH in the WH.

4. Memo to self: Never stick your thumb
   in a robot’s ventral exhaust port.

5. McDonalds will now be grinding their own beef and the help wanted sign has become permanent…..

6. Isaac Asimov foresaw this problem in a short story in 1942. Thus, here are the three laws of robotics:

   1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
   2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
   3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

7. The robot is very much like the human idiot who does things without consequence.

8. The robots mommie said :Little roboty didn’t do nuffin, he’s such a good little robot.

9. Goldenfoxx, I think are robots are smarter than speaking in ebonics. And personally I don’t trust robots, think Hal from 2001, Daleks ,just because they’re homicidal salt and pepper shaker looking little maniacs who run around yelling EXTERMINATE and shoot you with their ray guns and Marvin the Paranoid Android from The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy because he has a worry wort monotone voice that could bore you to death. Robots are even creepier than clowns, now if robot clowns were real we’d be in big trouble. I also like Clifford D Simak’s robots in his classic scifi book City and Project Pope, great stuff.

10. @Mr. Mxyzptlk – beat me to it – now, say your name backwards.

11. “…prosecutors were investigating to decide wether to file charges and who to file them against..”
    The robot, of course! He had a screw loose!
    (groan)

12. These robots will probably become a protected class like a lot of the human ones.

13. You can’t fool me that easily . . then I’d be sent back to my home in the 5th dimension (no offense to Billy Davis, Jr, Marilyn McCoo, & company)

14. Your name minus 2.

    ; }

15. Why did it grab him? He must have provoked it.

16. See my first comment, above.
    (5:53 P.M.)

    😉

17. Apparently the robot mistook the plant worker for John Connor. As police escorted the robot away he was heard to say “I’ll be back.”

18. LOL

19. This is not the robot’s fault.

20. Oh, yeah, it’s never the robot’s fault, is it?
