GI Joe but No Robots















So I was just talking to a friend about GI Joe. It isn't about Robots but it sure is nerdy. We all know the phrase "..and Knowing is Half the Battle..GI Joe!" But what the hell is the other half? When will we ever learn it? How will we win the battle without the other half? No wonder the new movie tanked. It was missing something...maybe it was this allusive secret or maybe it was a plot.

Are there any robots in GI Joe?

Paranoid/Neurotic Robots


Hi Fellow Dorks,
I am feeling like we need a new post. Let's talk about paranoid and/or neurotic robots. I really thought the idea of one was original and funny. Then I realized that there are a lot of them. There is C3PO and Marvin from Hitchhikers. There is the one I love, from Futurama, who blows up each time he is startled.

Why do we love Robots that are pretty much just F-ed up humans? I guess it is because we can relate. I sure can. What other robots did I miss?
