We Don't Serve Robots

The Wired photo-essay on the Great Robot Exhibition is well worth a look, if only because all of the robots, with the exception of the analog Karakuri's, are so sinister. Even Asimo! What is it with the Japanese? Do they have no fear of the future?

Well, laughter in the face of impending doom seems the only course. Here are some robot jokes:

A rabbi, an Arab, a robot, and a Catholic priest walk into a bar. Only the robot exits.

A robot walks into a pharmacy. The pharmacist asks him if he'd like anything. The robot replies, "A soul."

How do you stop a robot from destroying you and the rest of civilization?
You don't.

Knock knock.
Who's there?
A robot.
Oh, shit.
