ROBOTS!

Yeah yeah, I know, Sheila is the one who loves robots..

But I was sent an article earlier this week that made me REALLY question this whole "robot building" nonsense. Take a look and tell me what you think.. Creepy..

Have you ever seen IRobot? Will Smith was onto something.


In any case, I'm keeping my eye on my blender at work.. . I think I caught it looking at me funny.

I hope to get "Man Tracked"

I know, it sounds perverted, but it's actually a reality show in which contestants are essentially "hunted" by a man on a horse. It's a 2 day journey through un-familiar terrain, with only a compass and a map to assist you and your companion.

Sounds amazing right? Wait, it gets better. . There is no prize for winning, (winning means getting to the finish line 32 kilometers away before being caught.) only the satisfaction of knowing that you can outrun a man on a horse..

So, I am filling out a "prey application form" right now and so is Sheila. Hey, it's a long shot, but I think we have a chance of getting chosen. The application form is about 7 pages long with very odd questions like, "What magazines/newspapers do you read?" and, "Are you being considered for any other reality show?". .

Come on, who cares? I just want to be in my natural habitat for 2 days, possibly wearing war paint, running my ass off and hiding in bushes.

Nice.
