I don't know if you've noticed or not, but robots are taking over the world. In 2013 alone, we've seen reports of vomiting robots, Killer Robot Surgeons, Giant German Robot Apes, Giant Mutant Radioactive Robot Snakes, Pizza-Delivering Underwater Robot Killer Whales, and Vampire Robots.
Well, if that's not enough robots running around causing mayhem and chaos, there's now a robot that's ... wait for it ... running around. It's called WildCat, and it's from those wacky kids at Boston Dynamics.

The little gasoline engine is a little odd, but once they figure out how to get it to run on an iPhone or Droid Maxx battery, you best watch out.
We need to get a saddle on that sucker and start the Space Age Rodeo.

It's still early, but I think I've just watched the creepiest thing that I'll be seeing today. I sure hope so, anyway.
