Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the soldering-skills-essential dept.

Onnimikki writes "Mark Tilden has been building really cool BEAM robots for a long time. Now, he's come up with RoboSapien, a toy that no self-respecting geek can go without. Videos of the RoboSapien at the 2004 New York City Toy Fair have been made available by Solarbotics. Mark offers some really good explanations about what makes them work."

    Hello, and THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING

    Yes that's right, THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING. Why you might ask? Well it's simple!

    Your brain usually takes care of breathing FOR you, but whenever you remember this,
    YOU MUST MANUALLY BREATH! If you don't you will DIE.

    There are also MANY variations of this. For example, think about:

    1. BLINKING!


    1. SWALLOWING SALIVA!


    1. HOW YOUR FEET FEEL IN YOUR SOCKS!


    In conclusion, the THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING troll is simply unbeatable.These 4 words can be thrown randomly into article text trolls, into sigs, into anything, and once seen, WILL FORCE
    THE VICTIM TO TAKE CARE OF HIS BREATHING MANUALLY!     This goes far beyond the simple annoying or insulting trolls of yesteryear.

    In fact, by EVEN RESPONDING to this troll, you are proving that IT HAS CLAIMED ANOTHER VICTIM -- YOU!
