OK, just joking but maybe it's in the future? Scientists just invented a robot that powers itself by eating flies: I guess it has a little receptacle with human sewage that attracts flies then the robot catches them. "The EcoBot II uses human sewage as bait to catch the insects. It then digests the flies, before their exoskeletons are turned into electricity, which enables the robot to function." I’ve heard of a carrot-on-a-stick, but a turd? Yeck Maybe they will apply this voodoo to cars some day.

My first car - a Renault Caravelle - was a piece of sh*t, so I guess that's a first step in that direction?

 

Sounds like a movie; The Matrix meets the Fly....

 

ROTF

So many jokes and places to go with this news, and so many moderators to kick my **** off the site to go along with it. So I'll leave it alone.
What will they think of next. I'm almost scared to imagine........now that they have a crap-filled robot running around catching flies. Oh man.
Cheerio,

 

The MINI may be next... Just read that the team who came up with the robot was from the University of the West of England. I think it would be a great variant for the next MINI (better than going w/ turbo that's for sure).

MPH - millimeters per housefly.

 

Well, according to what I read, they'd need something a little bigger than flies to power something as large as a MINI. Now let's see......what is organic that is also hopelessly attracted to climbing into a MINI? Hey wait...................

 

EEEEWWWWW!!!
