[You] Technology: This is Freakin' Scary

This, my friends, is simply scary. Made by [Boston Dynamics], this is a video of the BigDog robot. It's being paid for by the American Government to aid the military. The aim of the machine is to "be able to serve as a robotic pack mule to accompany soldiers in terrain too rough for conventional vehicles", says [Wikipedia]. Whatever man, it scares the crap out of me. Thank God this thing is louder than your average house-hold wife, can you imagine this sneaking up on you? Was it really necessary to make it look like an insect with really skinny human legs in tights? I don't know what's scarier, a 5' fly without wings or the anorexically skinny legs wearing tights. Either way, sleep well readers, it's freakin' scary but twice as freakin' awesome.
