MIT Students Watch Terminator 2, Think “We Can Build That”

"Please stop running, human.  I only want to love you with my robot teeth and flesh-cutting lasers."
“Please stop running, human. I only want to love you with my robot teeth and flesh-cutting lasers.”

MIT has a bunch of really smart people who want to destroy the world.  How else to explain all their brilliant minds coming up with a robot that can now jump over obstacles?  The original Terminator was at least slow, when T2 gave us the running, liquid metal Terminator humanity was all “That’s it, we’re done, really glad those don’t exist.  MIT heard that some 20 years later and said “Oh we can make that exist.”  And they did.  With 4 legs for now, and thankfully they named it something tame like Cheetah and not after a super fast animal that can kill you.  Oh, wait…

Check out the video after the break that will surely be seen in a future documentary “Stupid Humans: How They Built Their Destroyers.”  It will probably be featured right after the robotic butt story.
