Robot deer

[Tapewolf]

Just saw this on Slashdot.  It's a few days old but people may find it amusing.  If it's already been mentioned and I missed it, chuck it in the mine or something...

*grins* Nice!
Now they need to develop the next version. The one that automatically shoots back...

... mount a chain gun on a deer?

After all, the robot deer can't run away, and you've got to make things fair... :-)

What's next, robot chickens?  ...Oh wait.

... mount a chain gun on a deer?

For the record, it only took one hour, 28 minutes for someone to post the ``frikin' laser beams'' thing.

*laugh*

Surely not. Surely we're all more mature than that? :-)

Reminds me of With a Tangled Skein.

I forget which one of those had Mars wandering through a dojo.

I kinda liked the style he went through it with, however.

That was With a Tangled Skein (the third one in the series, which dealt with Fate).

That scene was where Clotho (the youngest Aspect) got into a duel with the martial arts expert who ran the dojo, and asked Mars to be her champion/second (I don't remember which).

I believe that later, she "stepped down" in order to marry the martial arts expert. I don't think it was actually in that book, but it was referred to in one of the later ones.

I haven't read that book in a while, but I would like to find a copy of it for my collection.

Hmmm... Piers Anthony's "Incarnations" series?

[Zedd]

Soon it will turn rouge on its owner and bash the living bluest of blue hell out of his fucking arse!

Yah, we were discussing Incarnations of Immortality.

Some nice touches, and a few fun points, but by the end of it, lowest bidder. Pity, really...

I hope the courts realise that this form of capture is not entrapment since it is simply the poacher's free choice to shoot a deer by the road.
