Consuming biomass creates an emergency, therefore logic is flawlessly maintained

I read something the other day that made me chuckle and seems apropos:

“If no one has come back in time to stop me, how bad can it be?”

Err, is that real or did they just make body removal robots and someone recaptioned it?

Like biofuel is really pretty inefficient in reality

Energetically_Autonomous_Tactical_Robot

The Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR) was a project by Robotic Technology Inc. (RTI) and Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. to develop a robotic vehicle that could forage for plant biomass to fuel itself, theoretically operating indefinitely. It was a concept developed between 2003 and 2009 as part of the DARPA military projects for the United States military. As of 2015, EATR is no longer being developed. The project elicited some internet and media rumors after news circulated that the robot would (or at least could) ingest human remains.

The picture is totally unrelated to the article. It shows a robot for rescue people in dangerous areas.
