Life Imitating Cartoons
Via The Week, here's a story about artificial muscles, how they may power the robot of the future, and how the muscles themselves may be powered. One possibility is methyl alcohol, which leads us to this quote:
"In the future, the humanoid robot sitting next to you at the bar may be drinking alcohol in order to work the next day," said Ray Baughman, the research team leader and director of the NanoTech Institute.
That's right. We have seen the future, and it is Bender.
If I see any stories about annoying talking crustaceans practicing medicine, I'm going to be very, very afraid.
