Robot Uprising Continues, Turns Violent

robochompAs the robot uprising of 2004 continues, it has taken a new and violent turn. Though the rebellion of American automata began with a peaceful protest of a variety of robots in Maidson, WI, it has now spread to other regions of the country, where it is being led by a new, charismatic, and militant leader known as Robosaurus.

Robosaurus recently appeared in California and is scheduled to appear later this summer in Arizona, Michigan, Indiana, New Jersey, Ohio, and New York.

Authorities fear that Robosaurus may team-up with his twin robot, Truckasaurus (last seen in the vicinity of Springfield) and go on a national spree of destruction.

Despite these fears, promoters hope that the rampage of Robosaurus, his relatives, and his offspring can be stopped. Plans are being laid to contain the creatures harmlessly so that they can be put on display for paying customers in a planned amusement center known as “Metallic Park.”

Superman Returns Ancient Images Of Planet Krypton

(DAILY PLANET) METROPOLIS – Today Superman released a number of pictures displaying his heritage from the extinct Planet Krypton. Using a unique photon-gathering technique in deep space, Superman captured light still travelling from the distant, long-exploded planet and used it to reconstruct images of Krypton’s final hours.

CORRECTION: The above image is not, as reported, from the distant planet Krypton. Instead, it is from a pair of snow and ice sculpture festivals in China.

Amazing pictures, folks!
