    Red face Robots Think We Taste Like Bacon

    I thought Skynet was going to go self-aware, but it looks like the robot holocaust will begin with automated sommeliers. It tasted one person, and identified him as bacon. Another man was sized up as prosciutto. Chilling.

    When the robots come to slice you up and serve you on toasted bread with a side of olive oil and diced tomatoes, don't say you weren't warned.

    It has begun!

    Probably sheer coincidence that Shimazu chose green and white for robbies colour scheme.

    If you want a purple one, you'd have to find scientist called Hojo.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To be fair, so do most sommeliers. Seriously though, what is this electromechanical imbecile supposed to do at my table? According to the piece..
    .. it names the brand and adds a comment or two on the taste, such as whether it is a buttery chardonnay or a full-bodied shiraz, and what kind of foods might go well on the side.
    Suppose I order the steak au poivre and a hefty shiraz to douse it. The electrojerk brings it to my table, opens it, tastes it, and says in a childlike voice: "Why this is a full-bodied shiraz, Mr Adrian. May I gently recommend a steak au poivre to go with it?"

    Fifteen minutes of that in a half-decent restaurant and it's dish-washing time for the rest of little Bobbie's life.

    Be careful with the pirate talk, the Islamists might chop your hands off.

    Isn't that what cannibals say too? So chilling accurate.

    It would be an interesting thing in a more discreet format for those of us who have zero wine (but plenty of whine) knowledge. Maaatttee what this? It looks like a shazzza but it smells like strawberry liquor/ Octan 98 mate.

    Not that I know anyone like that.

    BTW Welcome back AdrianII!
