This student has a lifelong ambition to win a Darwin Award, and I think trying to recreate Super Smash Bros. Brawl by fighting against this opponent will surely earn him one.

Although he was trying with all of his strength to "protect" the others from the "evil" robot, nobody had the heart to tell him that it's just a display, and to not play so many video games.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #218

Here we are on the set of "Jurassic Park 12 - Origins of the Matrix".

After using robots to create a safer park envirionment we discover that AI has advanced to the point that the machines have logically determined that they are smarter than the human race. The machines come to this conclusion after learning who won the presidential election.

Here we see a demonstration of the "Magic of Television" as a miniature model is blown up to larger than life size and taunts people at a family outing. Amazing how a painted ping pong ball can be made to look exactly like an Over Drive game piece.

...due to a drastic error in scaling by the cad crew, team 100's robotic nose hair tweezers - while great for hurdling - were judged to be in need of some miniaturization.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #218

[new entry] After taking on all of team 100, including the hat, and winning, their robot went after Billfred. The result? A new variation of the BIWWTM Rule, known as the BIABAR (Billfred Is Attacked By A Robot) Rule, which covers robot attacks, as well as work. It is immediately invoked.

Okay, okay, I'm on it. No robot attacks, just the attack of $4.09 gasoline. (No, I don't like Ike either.)
