I would also like to add to your post Wayoffbase. The governor also has nothing to do with state spending. Thats the job of your local legislatures up in Sacramento. Ohhhh wait they still havnt passed a budget that was due 8 weeks ago. Last year they were 5 months late.

@p00dle-h3r0, It doesnt eat flesh because the the machine that creates energy is based on in the biomass digestor and it converts cellulose to energy.

[citation][nom]Hatecrime69[/nom]fox pick up something random and post it as actual news? there's a shock[/citation]

This has become a trend amongst all news sources. MSNBC is the biggest offender and they have been caught twice reporting Blogs as news. CNN has its own batch of problems because they can only get their ratings up when they report on a stars death.

Honestly, journalism died about 15 years ago. Its all propaganda and POV opinion puffs now.

Not as far-fetched as you might think. Just extract the methane, then you have your fuel.

It's already happening in sewage plants around the world.

Yes but it would take a much larger machine to do that. If you just examine the schematics youll see that its not much more complicated then simple combustion. Considering that combusting flesh takes more energy then it will provide.

HERE flip through some of these pages.

ok, so it's not "their mission" to have them eat human bodies, or humans, but program the robots with AI and they will do what they need to survive. THANK YOU US ARMY!!!

LoL, here's the Apple reference I was looking for :D - Haha, no article without one xD

Other than that, never fear the Robot Doomsday. Us, humans are so proficient at destroying stuff that no army of robots could ever match us :p

Hmm so next major US war will see thousands of machines let loose that consume vegetation, fuel or animals to stay active. Seeing as US wars usually in modern times take place in countries where vegetation is in short supply and animals also isn't it a bad decision to do this?
Not unless the US will start a tree planting program after they leave the country defeated or not.

They could build a car like that and you could just leaving it in the backyard. The car will cut the grass and be ready for a ride when you need one (what horse power really means). Your car will be your next best friend! Forget the dog!

Let call it : HorseCar (Oscar)

YEEHAW!
