Rich, who has been pointing out the inexorable subjugation of the human race to our future mechanical overlords, links to a story about a new robot.
..."an electromechanical sommelier", capable of identifying wines, cheeses, meats and hors d'oeuvres.
The creep factor goes way up when we learn that they've given this little beastie a child-like voice to use when he identifies whatever it is that you've fed into his maw.
Then, of course, there's this:
But when some smart aleck reporter placed his hand in the robot's omnivorous clanking jaw, he was identified as bacon. A cameraman then tried and was identified as prosciutto.
This ties in quite nicely with our NaNoWriMo '06 effort to write an anthology about Giant Evil Space Robots.
Too nicely, maybe...

The official site is built (used my old account from last year).
I have ideas and words ready to pour from my fingers onto the page. I hope y'all do too. If you'd like to join the fun, follow this link and drop me an email because the more, the merrier.
And after dark, beware those glowing red lights about 100 feet up.
