K5 Security Robot commits suicide...

[rwsmith]

A K5 security robot apparently hated his job and flung himself into a Washington, D.C. fountain at Georgetown harbor.

He didn't leave a note, but the reason seemed clear enough. Some said that he couldn't stand working among humans any more.

I don't believe it was a suicide attempt, I think it was just skinny dipping. After all, it's been pretty warm.

I heard he was about to be arrested, something about a battery charge. Joe

They look like something.....

Honestly, it looks like something off the Jetsons. Or a Dalek from Doctor Who. I like that menacing visage on the K5, it really does look like a cartoon.

Too monotonous a job even for a robot.

Going back a while but I remember when stripper Fanne Foxe went in the Tidal Baisin. She was tied in with Congressman Wilbur Mills.

Possibly the person that programed the robot was just cerebrating that historic occasion.

Just before plunging into the water he was heard to say, "I'll be back".........

Must have been a very stupid robot not to know you can't mix water and electronics..he may not have committed suicide, he may just have been broke and was going after the three coins in the fountain.

Maybe he had a bad motivator?

Regardless, if that thing got close to me or my family, I'd let loose with both barrels from my 12 gauge coach gun 3" magnum 000 buckshot. Should put that droid out of commission, no water needed!!
