    I'm laughing hysterically here. That's pretty funny.
    You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

    I'm kinda bummed...it's a radio control ski-bot. I was expecting Asimo to rip it. This is kinda creepy actually, reminds me of that movie Artificial Intelligence. At the end of the video, when the kid is snapping photos, I secretly wanted Asimo to reach out and impale him with his tool-hand, T2 style.

    1. Any of a group of British workers who between 1811 and 1816 rioted and destroyed laborsaving textile machinery in the belief that such machinery would diminish employment.
    2. One who opposes technical or technological change.
