Please Don't Eat The Customers.

Worried about the robot revolution?  You might want to keep an eye on this place.  A new theme park in Dubai is set to begin construction, featuring life-size robotic dinosaurs.  I know what you're thinking: real dinosaurs can't be contained by electric fences and tranquilizer guns, how the hell do they expect to control goddamn robotic dinosaurs?

Well, I assume they'll come with some kind of three laws programming that will go horribly wrong, turning the giant metal lizards into killing machines.  And you can bet your sweet butt that, when the first of these escapes its enclosure and goes on a mauling spree, its gonna take a lot more than three cops with handguns to bring it down.  Especially with the Kevlar scales and razor sharp pneumatic fangs.  Yeah.  So what is our glimmering hope?  Two words: EMP.  Of course I imagine when you take down a real thunder lizard you get 24-28 months worth of kickass barbecue instead of dino-shaped scrap metal.

So, did the DP have a rough new years? Is it going to be ok soon?
