Handsome, Fit Japanese Robot Wants Your Job

[jmig]

Faced with an aging population and fewer people who can make things like Priuses and "Dance Dance Revolution," Japan has been busily building an army of robots that can take over.

And the newest of them looks like it can do "Dance Dance Revolution" while building a Prius.

Meet HRP-4, but you may as well give it your own name since it could eventually end up with your job.

One day Robot Rob will pass his check-ride, but I'll be finished with this game by then. He is the sly and jaunty looking fellow, isn't he.

The last thing we need is a new version of herpes. I thought there were 2, but here they go and introduce HRP-4...

Oh well, as long as it doesn't have a red light on it, we'll be fine.

I Robot, the Cylons, Terminator, take your pick.

By then the airplane WILL be the robot. Wanna hijack it? Gotta point the gun at the CPU, but, alas, it will be in an armored box...
The first tasks for robots like that will be menial labor jobs. No more illegal aliens, and all the costs/troubles.

Handsome and fit? t'll never be able to take my place unless it gains about 90 pounds, starts looking a lot more like the love child of Walter Mathau and a Werewolf, develops a really bad personality, contracts irritable bowel syndrome and learns to lean to the left while letting one rip. Until that day, my job as Deb's husband is secure!
