oh holy hell

Ok, so apparently Peres has announced that Israel will be developing nanotechnology-based weapons. More here.

Who thinks this will end well? I spent 20 minutes today trying to get something unitalicized in a stupid text editor, and my DVR on Thursday just didn't record The OC, because apparently that is what it decided. Machines are disobedient and people are dumb.

This will end...poorly, I predict.


[Poll #872349]

Mr. Peres, when the KILLER NANOROBOTS take over and are done exterminating all humans, I'm sure they will kill you last out of gratitude.

On the other hand, it makes me laugh to think that in that "The Office" episode when Dwight has to pick a new health care plan, and people are submitting diseases, and Pam puts in "goverment-created killer nanorobot infestation," and we all laughed? Well, turns out that wouldn't be a bad thing for insurance to cover.

Nanites! That reminds me of Jake 2.0.

If you need episode 4, [livejournal.com profile] buffyx has it up in her journal.

I hate to say it ... this is freaking awesome!

In other news, I'm looking forward to the Cylon invasion.

Heh, let's hope it works better for humanity out this time round.

This is clearly the best idea anyone has ever had, outside of writing one's thesis in one night!

Oh, huh, does that ring a bell? Did you tell me a story once about someone doing that?

But if anyone thinks it's a good idea, it's you, because you, of all people I know, will survive the robot carnage. (I'm not kidding -- if I had to predict one person to survive, I'd pick you. :) )
