Our new robot masters may in fact be very, very small

Traitorous eggheads at the New York university have succeeded in creating tiny robots made of DNA, and only 10 nanometers long. (10 nanometers is, in human terms, really, really goddamn small.) These robots are so small, we probably couldn't even kill them. And to me, that is a major defect in their design. At least we'd have a chance against the giant fighting robots...

Speaking of giant fighting robots, I just about died laughing watching the Bruce Campbell episode of MEGAS XLR.

The show will probably turn out to be horrible, but the two episodes I watched with my son Saturday night were pretty cute.

Lets suppose legions of 10 nanometer long robots took over planet Earth. How would we know? I think they would have to issue a press release or something.

Actually... there's a book about that!

Stanislaw Lem, "Peace on Earth," deals directly with nanometer robots taking over the planet.

Not purty.
