Man Finally Makes the Weed-Removing Robot

Posted by samzenpus on from the it-only-listens-to-reggae dept.

Roland Piquepaille writes "According to the Ludington Daily News, Michigan, Danish agricultural engineers have built a robot to help farmers with weeds. The Hortibot is about 3-foot-by-3-foot, is self-propelled, and uses global positioning system (GPS). It can recognize 25 different kinds of weeds and eliminate them by using its weed-removing attachments. It's also very environmentally friendly because it can reduce herbicide usage by 75 percent. But so far, it's only a prototype and the Danish engineers need to find a manufacturer for distribution."

    On this fourth of July, perhaps forego your usual daily prayers to allah, and pray to our God- the God of America, the God who gave us Christ- today, at least five times. This is a great time to ask Him for forgiveness for the great evil your people are doing in the name of Islam. It's a great time to thank Him for sacrificing His only son, so that we may live in eternal life. It's a great time to show your appreciation for our country, by asking God to bless us, and Israel- to keep us safe, to keep us steadfast as we work to bring the light of Christ to the lands besotten by the evil moon god, and his pedophile prophet Muhammed.

    Jesus loves the lost people of islam.

    Allah had no son.

    Islam is evil; Christ is lord.
