Upcoming Military Robot Could Feed on Dead Bodies
It could be a combination of 19th-century mechanics, 21st-century technology — and a 20th-century horror movie.
A Maryland company under contract to the Pentagon is working on a steam-powered robot that would fuel itself by gobbling up whatever organic material it can find — grass, wood, old furniture, even dead bodies. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,...0:b26413028:z0 The advantages to the military are that the robot would be extremely flexible in fuel sources and could roam on its own for months, even years, without having to be refueled or serviced. |

Seriously though, these science guys need to take just a little, baby step back from the idea of feeding dead bodies to their new robots. Think about this for just a second, science guys ... you are feeding dead bodies to your robots. FAX |

Not meaning to be insensitve, but you might be able to save enough on burials to actually pay for the robots.
