It doesn’t seem too effective in military applications … except imagine a million of those things writhing their way slowly up a hill, aiming to deliver some kind of payload – a grenade or tear gas – that’s a serious Philip K. Dick style combat scenario. If you made them self-replicating, it would be horrifying.

Not weird at all. My first reaction was “KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!”, until I realized that it’s immune to fire.

With spillover benefits to John Q Public:
It can crawl into the oven to retrieve a pizza; then crawl into the 'fridge to get a beer; and then deliver them to the living room (the beer and pizza will both be room temp by the time that it gets them to ya, but ya didn’t have to get off of the couch).

Oh yes, I remember why:



Does this mean we’ll all be Scotsmen soon?
