"We completely understand the public’s concern about futuristic robots feeding on the human population"
The idea of flesh-eating biomass-fueled robots isn't new. Misinformer.com posted this open letter to Science, back in the brave new year 2000, in fact. One of the funniest paragraphs in the letter demands, "Remember Terminator? A dark future where robots become self-aware, rebel, and take over the planet. Remember that? You know what? Those robots DIDN'T EVEN EAT MEAT and they stomped mankind into a greasy pink stain on history just because they FELT LIKE IT! Can you imagine if they actually needed to EAT US for FUEL? "
But did Science listen? No, of course not! Because what could possibly go wrong with autonomous flesh-eating robots, right?
