Bring Out Your Dead
Gizmodo tells the story of this device, the dead and dormant remover, which is after 10 years really going to make its way into the Japanese streets. Supposedly. Where it will somehow sort out the people who cry out "I'm not dead yet!"

LOL! How many people did not get the Monty Python reference, though?

I have to admit, generally when I hear of "I'm not dead yet" and say, Dr. McGee, I'm not thinking Monty Python, I'm thinking activist groups.
So having this on my mind and seeing Spamalot tonight, I kind of have to wonder...
...why would you name your activist group after a Monty Python sketch?

I have to admit that I find this concept of a robot romoving dead bodies down right rediculous. You are picking up a human not a deer from the side of the road. We rely on computers, machines, and robots way to much already in the world today.

Are they serious? I can hardly believe my eyes looking at this contraption they plan on using to sort out the dead vs. the living. If they are not dead yet once this machine has gotten a hold of them they probably will be. It appears that the machine latches on around the neck and drags them across the ground. Who knows if the person already has an underlying spinal cord injury and this machine worsens or infact kills the person. It's amazing that someone would actually think of something like this.

Ok, so grandma dies and you can just put her out by the curb. Have we come to the point that deceased individuals rate the same as the weeks garbage? Would there be scheduled days like the trash pick-up? Oh the heck with it-let's just get out the Hefty and put grandma in and exceed our bag limit by adding grandma to the pile. Think of the money you would save in burial costs! As far as sorting out people who are alive or dead, if you can't get out of the way, your loss.
