I was told that this is the last part of whatever this thing is. This city seems to be constantly under attack from campy sci-fi monsters.<\/p>\n

The monsters ought to get together and plan out their attacks so that they don’t overlap. It’s just so uneconomical for the giant robots and spiders to come rampage in a city that was already destroyed by Godzilla. It’s like a loan shark hiring three different people to spraypaint the same house. Unless it’s a really huge house that requires more coverage.<\/p>\n

Part 2<\/h3>\n

Second part of three of whatever this is supposed to be. These robots clearly do not obey the Three Laws<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, the word “robotics<\/a>” was coined by Isaac Asimov<\/a> (one of my favourite writers of all time) in his 1941 short story “Liar!<\/a>” which was eventually included as part of the I, Robot<\/a> collection. He used the word in his short story under the mistaken impression that it was an existing word and, instead of being severely reprimanded by his grammar teacher and\/or editor, ended up being credited with the birth of a new word. That is some awesomerific historifact.<\/p>\n

Part 1<\/h3>\n

What the heck is this? I don’t know. Why am I posting this? Good question. I am sure all will be made clear in due time.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, by calculating the amount of money we are willing to spend on things that prolong our lives, (insurances, safer cars, healthcare, tax spendings, etc.) it can be determined that we are on average willing to pay US$6.60<\/strong> to mitigate a 0.0001%<\/strong> chance of death. This means that each of our lives (a mitigation of 100% chance of death) is worth roughly 6.6 million dollars. By dividing the number of casualties from Godzilla attacks by the total population and multiplying by 6.6 million, we can find the approximate amount of tax dollars per capita we are willing to spend on anti-Godzilla measures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
