I came here with a simple dream, a dream of killing all the humans.

Recycled Robots, hand-made from scavenged parts. Robots, robots, more robots, and their pets. And where there are robots, rest assured, there will be rayguns. (via the eminently readable Drawn!)

The nemomatic site also has videos of the sculptures in motion.

Clayton Bailey's work mentioned previously, but it's been a while.

Borderline eponysterical.

Also, the 'nude robot' pictures made me laugh.

You don't need the definate article in the title. It's "...killing all humans". If we don't notice these things the robots will have no choice but to use the killamajig on us.

That's what I get for looking at some second-rate futurama site for confirmation.

Don't agree, "killing all the humans" is equivalent to "kissing all the girls", etc, and is somehow more dismissive.

Wow. Extraordinary kinetic sculptures.

Thanks for the kind words about Drawn!, Gamblor. And I believe I speak for all my people when I say, "DESTROY ALL HUMANS!!!!"

Some of the rayguns looked as if they started as garden hose attachments. That might be a good item - raygun-shaped hose nozzles. Take that, juniper bushes!

Excuse me, this may seem strange in this forum, but could someone please define "eponysterical". Did Metafilter just invent it?

It's a perfectly cromulent word.
