Robots Secure World Cup
Hasta La Vista, Baby! Why does it seem a little unsettling to think the Germans have robots patrolling the World Cup? Is it because they (the robots) were built by Cyberdyne Systems - the creators of Skynet, which was brought online on August 4th, 1997 and given control over the strategic nuclear arsenal for reasons of efficiency and programmed with a directive to defend us against all possible enemies, but started to learn at a geometric rate and soon concluded that the greatest threat was humanity itself? Will they, too, decide to neutralize us by initiating a nuclear war on August 29th, which will become known as Judgment Day? Hmmmm?

You know... Jewelry. Scientists have uncovered the oldest known (Certainly not the oldest - what would be the odds of that?) examples of human-crafted jewelry. Basically, we are talking about little shells with holes bored in them, like you can buy on the beach of just about in any third world country. I guess it is just a matter of time before they uncover the oldest known examples of Chicklets.
