Fox News may be making this up, but I swear I’m not.
Speedy tuna capable of swimming tirelessly in the Earth’s oceans have inspired the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to fund a lookalike robot for underwater patrols.
And what, exactly, would our beloved protectors do with a robot tuna? Enquiring minds genuinely want to know.
.Homeland Security made the choice to fund the robot made by the Boston Engineering Corporation in Waltham, Mass., with an eye toward missions such as exploring the flooded areas of ships, inspecting oil tankers or patrolling U.S. harbors to watch out for suspicious activity.
Oh.
[blink]
You really need a make-believe tuna for that?
Who knew?
Anyway, I won’t start being impressed by DHS until they’ve spent metric megabuttloads of our money on giant flying robots. With missiles that shoot out of their fingers. Because that would be awesome, and really no more stupid than robot tuna.
