I didn't even have to read the 'started by' box to know who was responsible for this topic...

andy

what fresh horror is this?

Pete

The beginnings of Skynet, clearly.

First they will find your children.

Then they will find Sarah Connor.

It's a good job the poor child isn't in a rush. Does it get more interesting?

Duncan

Why is that child so calm?

andy

if i ever need to drag a pensive, inert child across a perfectly waxed floor, i'll know where to go

Pete

Clearly there are no futurists in Stroud Green...

Can't you imagine them BIGGER?

tosscat

If they ever caught me up and managed to get the bulldog clip to clip onto my clothes (will we not all be wearing lycra in the future anyway?) I'd simply remove my clothes to escape.

andy

not exactly scary. when i was a kid I had a Bigtrak. this was infinitely more scary:  i loved my big trak.

Pete

Now imagine a big trak with autonomous programming but still <i>follows the crowd</i>. These things didn't just link up and pull, they did it because <i>thats what the first one did</i>.

it's not bigger ones that scare me, it's large numbers of smaller ones that think and swarm faster, with hive intelligence. small enough to invade the bloodstream of a human and rearrange the innards.
