That's why I love robotics, I think it's a nicer idea then that slug digesting one!

Why can't the rest of the world think of cool stuff like this?

Because some cultures are more resistant to great ideas.

The rest of the world is too busy having wars and watching American Idol to be awesome like us.

That video just negated the utter awesomeness of the ice crapping robot. Back to square one, Japan.

News Credits: 8 · by **Liege Evilmus** » Tue Jan 08, 2008 9:06 pm

Exactly, Japan may know robots, and how to make computers smaller, and have beer in vending machines, and stuff...

But Man, you guys got some issues, which make our issues seem way less raging!

That ice crapping robot could be really useful in places with heavy snowfall, though silly question, does it snow much in Japan?

I bet a Vermont, or N/S Dakota snow storm would kick it's ass!

Americanize it Japan, make it big with calf skin leather seats and you best be sure it runs on leaded gas!

by **homelessjunkeon** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 7:33 pm

I think the Japanese are trying to freak us out

Don't worry, it's all in your head. Probably.
