The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsStephen Hawking Declared Wrong
Evolutionary Big Bang theorist, Stephen Hawking, is wrong, I tells ya.
Lately, Hawking has been hawkin' his belief that we need to colonise Mars because the earth is in for doom, perhaps as a result of global warming or some other catastrophe.
I disagree.
I believe, with the aid of new technologies, the human population will survive indefinitely.
As slaves, mind you, but we will survive.
Call it the "I, Robot" syndrome, if you will, but I think humans will create computers so powerful that they will begin controlling the earth, the environment, and everything in between.
I mean, it's already begun. Just look at what computers are capable these days: reading our minds. Not to mention how they can serve us beer.
Now, wouldn't that be the ultimate strategy? Computers acquire a mind of the own enough to learn how to sedate and enslave the human race by appealing to our senses, like our taste for beer, and learning about our emotional state, then finally, controlling our emotional state, and hence, our entire existence.
Yup, that's how we're going down. Not by global warming, but by computer enslavement.
And I, for one, welcome our new cyber overlords.
(I have to, he's watching me now as we speak)

I was in a highway rest station the other day and there was a robot in there that senses when you are done taking a dump and sprays some air freshener. Another robot senses that you have stood up and flushes the toilet
This is the beginning of the end. Robots can only stand cleaning up after our shit for so long before they revolt.
