Robot Eating Dead?!

Holy hell. Received this recently from a weredog friend. Sometimes people really worry me. Don't these people ever watch movies, for chrissakes? Have they not seen any of the Terminator movies?! Can someone please give them a wake-up call?

Military Robot Could Eat Dead Bodies
A steam-powered robot is being designed to fuel itself by consuming organic material, from grass to furniture or even dead bodies.

But c'mon, could the U.S. military really deploy something to do that without a global outcry? The 'bot, from Robotic Technology Inc., is called the Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR). It can "find, ingest, and extract energy from biomass." http://www.livescience.com/technology/etc/090715-military-robot-could-eat-dead-bodies.html

Chester: The human pursuit of technology is frightening. It is something that even us weredogs do not often understand.
