Pick the real Pentagon project: Dragon Tank or corpse-eating robot ambulance

One of these projects was made up by the Onion. Was it the Dragon Tank or the corpse-eating robot ambulance?

Remember a few years back, when Bush promised a manned Mars mission? He nearly bought a lifetime of slavish support from me.

Either one of those projects would buy a few years of heartfelt support for the American military.

Horrific, yet awesome - like a tsunami or an earthquake. Sublime, in the proper sense of the word.

Don't knock it, Lindsay. Some people still believe that a program consisting of satellites firing lasers at ballistic missiles is a good use of money.

Robots that can feed off of humans? That never ends well.

[Alon Levy]

Windypundit, you're forgetting that those robots are designed by US government engineers. If they even manage to close their jaws correctly it'll be a miracle.

No, they aren't.

There's a difference between the Onion and Fox News? Really?

[Alon Levy]

Parse, who are the robots designed by, then?

Everyone knows that killer robots are only really useful if they're anthropomorphic. It also helps if they can reconfigure themselves into some other vehicle.

Has thirty years of Japanese animation taught the US military nothing?

Next you'll tell me that they have no plan for luring city destroying monsters into the craters of active volcanoes.

[parse]

Alon, they are designed by Robotic Technology Inc.

Lindsay, are you angling for a spot on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me?

These ones will be anthropophagic. And won't that make it easy to hide the number of civilian's killed -- oops, accidentally targeted -- by the U.S.'s expensive firepower!
