ARMED ROBOTS, GOOEY SNACKS MADE BY SAME FIRM

Foster-Miller, the company behind the armed robots that are about to be shipped off to Iraq, may win the award for the oddest array of expertise, ever. When they're not building gun-toting, death-dealing machines, Foster-Miller scientists are helping make chewy, gooey fruit snacks; training railway workers in staying safe; building bone-growth devices; and testing out new vending machines for Pepsi.

I don't precisely know what reaction to have to the fact that the computer game "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon" is being advertised on the news page about the killer robots.

Possibly the most appropriate one is the one you had---I love living in this age.

...actually, no. I think my most appropriate response is a deep depression, right about now, but I can't afford that.

Can Skynet or Hunter-Killers be far behind?
