MIT Robot Walks On Water

An anonymous reader writes "Researchers at MIT have solved the mystery of how water striders propel themselves across water surfaces and in the process have created a robot called Robostrider that mimics the behavior. With cool stuff like this, it's no wonder MIT is number one in engineering."

    Maybe MIT could send some of their engineering surplus down to Brazil since they appear to have a deficiency...at least in their space program.

    I touched her overlords, and she was filled with ecstacy. My overlords were quivering in anticipation, but I quieted them with a drink and a slap. I protected myself with my Overlord and walked to her; her overlord yawning as a canyon opens for the brute force of a river. As our overlords neared, a strange thing happened...

    The only minor differences, of course, being that the MIT thing actually happened, and that no little boys had to be molested in the process.

    I just heard some sad news on TV - Famous whore and slut Kathleen Fent was found dead in her Michigan home this
    morning. There weren't any more details, other than the theory that she choked on CmdrTaco's one-and-only pubic
    hair. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss her - even if you didn't enjoy her teethy blowjobs,
    there's no denying her contributions to our cocks. Truly an American icon.

    SCO was not DDOS'ed, not by any stretch of the imagination. The pages are serving up just fine, as quick as can be. Served by a server running Unix code written by red-blooded god-fearing proud American programmers. The same code that was stolen from us and being illegally run on millions of lesser Linux boxes worldwide. You can thank SCO for your silly toy's uptime, little boy.
