My god! It’s the beginning of the end. Sounds like some sort of twisted Planet of the Apes meets Terminator meets hard science. Perfect example of Japanese tax dollars at work! But then again, even monkeys need high powered death mechs to take over the world with I guess…

Lewis Black addressed this four years ago.

“Fools! We can defeat the monkeys. We can defeat the robots, but not at the SAME TIME!”

Will it do it’s best to teach them, about life and what it’s worth?
I just hope that it can keep them from destroying the Earth.

I’d like to see something like Alchemic Robot Drive. It would be AMAZING.

I’m glad I don’t have to decide whether or not this is cruelty to monkeys.

I think they already have half monkey/ half robot creatures. Havn’t you seen those creepy wind up monkey that slam the cymbols together? *shudder*

I find this Half Monkey/ Half Robot monster a little more disturbing, yet useful.

GAH! You beat me to the SM reference.

Although, I was going to write, “So what’s the problem JC? You like monkeys; you like robots. Did they use too many monkeys?”

Did I say overlords? I meant protectors.

“The question I have is… why?”

The question I have is why is this not yet a JoCo song? Did these scientists steal the idea directly out of his brain?

So… it has begun. If you thought that Planet of the Apes was bad, imagine how it would be if the apes had robots at their disposal.

When will we learn to stop playing god???

Yeah… We’re doomed. Again.

I heard on the news tonight that soon, cloned animal products will be on the market. (I seriously typed ‘monkey’ instead of ‘market’ originally) Does that mean that the robots will be controlled by cloned monkeys in future tests?

This opens all sorts of evoloutional theory questions. Did/does the Terminator in fact evolve from a chimp? Can we get a robot to look funny wearing pants? Will future robots grow up craving banannas?

A couple months ago I met a fellow in Second Life that was working on getting chimps in his lab to control avatars in the virtual world. Although I am not sure if it would be possible to tell the difference between a chimp controlled avatar and the typical griefer.

I suppose it’s good news for those who seek monkey butlers and robot butlers. Two for the price of one.
(Although it wouldn’t be as good as a real monkey butler. I would just know in my heart-of-hearts that it wasn’t the same.)
