Protecting Us from Robots

President Obama at the National Robotics Engineering Center at Carnegie Mellon University yesterday:

"I just met with folks from some cutting-edge companies and saw some of their inventions here in your National Robotics Engineering Center, but that's not the only reason I'm here," the president said. "You might not know this, but one of my responsibilities as commander in chief is to keep an eye on robots. And I'm pleased to report that the robots you manufacture here seem peaceful, at least for now."

Oh sure. They seem peaceful. They always do. But robots are strong and they eat old people's medicine for fuel.
