I'm still laughing. Mother Superior is at our resort in Staad this week, but unlike other times when she's gone, I'm doing stuff like house cleaning. Just now, while I was taking a shower, I loosed ROOMBA in the upstairs hallway. Fifteen -Twenty minutes later I don't hear Roomba. Oh-oh. I had all the bedroom doors closed, but somehow it got into my daughter's room, and got hold of this wispy material that makes up her bed canopy. Roomba tried to climb it. I'm not making that up. Fortunately I was able to unroll the gauzy stuff without damage. Bad Roomba. It is one tenacious little machine, let me tell you. |

Roomba Climbs

Rodger, we know from The Terminator that machines "on a mission" is a bad thing. To save the world I'm afraid you'll have to pull the chip from your Roombo and throw it into a vat of molten metal at the nearest steel mill.

Heck! Does this mean that you have to go back in time and kill the inventor of the chip?...Or just send him to his room without supper and tell him to NEVER do it again.

I think you're lucky you didn't leave your bathroom open while showering. Might have been dangerous!

Most people do not realize how good the roomba is. I think ours has only been stuck once.

It's a natural tie-in-- if you are going to execute people it should be done safely!
