At first I sorta said "meh"' to this whole story, but then I got to thinking...
Lisa Nowak, you are a robotics engineer. You do not need to second guess your deadly prowess by resorting to mere plastic garbage bags and steel mallets. Pepper spray is for civilians, as is your kid's BBGun. I do, however, give you steez for wearing Depends on the cultural voyage that is Houston to Orlando, but, c'mon! If science teaches us anything, it teaches us that it's better to make killer robots do the dirty work, than do it ourselves. Like Roomba.
Am I the only one who remembers the Tom Selek and Kirstie Alley classic Runaway?
In Runaway, there were killer robots on the loose! They were sneaky, insect-like even. They could climb up skyscrappers, and inject poison in the people's necks. They had skilled robo-buddies that could race under cars and explode them. Even Magnum P.I. had a special weapon whose the bullet could turn corners, and Fat Actress had a secret kilo-sized coke compartment concealed in a belt.
Surely one of America's elite could have engineered something similar, and probably on NASA's dime.
For shame Lisa. We all understand being heated over love, but what seperates us from the apes is how efficiently we can procure it. Especially if one can make robots.
