My mother still has a picture of me on my first day of grade school... with my brand new Voltron backpack.

Not every argument requires reduction to absurdity.
1. I'll form the head!
2. Form blazing sword!
3. ???
4. Profit!
Just so you know...

After all, knowing is half the battle.
Go, Joe!
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
... Voltron got served on the dance floor! [Hilarious WMA mini-movie].
Tiller's Rule: Never use a word in written form that you've only heard and never read. You will end up looking foolish.
I still remember wanting a Voltron so bad before Christmas that one year. And luckily I was in Sunday School at that time so my prayer skills were sharp and I put them to good use.
Needless to say, God told my parents to buy that thing.
Finance tutorials and more! Understandfinance
if Voltron somehow ends up fighting Iraqi Robeasts, though...
You're in luck. In this new, updated Voltron, there is no fighting. All of the issues are worked out through peaceful diplomatic negotiations. Intelligence is perfect. Politicians seek the best for all people, the media is educated, fully informed, interested in presenting the truth, and restrains from oversentationalizing everything. Wealthy corporations pay workers to stay home and protect the environment and everyone recycles, writes Open Source Software, and whistles while they work.

Lets take bets on what TV franchise from the 80's they will bastardize next. I've got $50 down for He-Man. Paris Hilton can be Skeletor.
Mod me down with all of your hatred, and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
