Hopefully it does not locate US subs like our torpedoes in WW2 did and sink them!
To: Fai Mao
OH NOT, NOT ANOTHER ONE!

The Chinese would reply with Jackie Chan and Jet Li on powered wake boards with Chinese knock off Swiss army knives.
We don’t want to start an arms race.

But judge - it was just running around out there with no one at the helm. I was salvaging it.

I just hope it doesn't have one of those offshore made chips that will direct it to make landfall on the other side of the Pacific...
like the aerial drone that landed in Iran...

Punch that into the search engine...

So now the Chinese want to knock off the Swiss.
Well, good luck getting those submarines over the Swiss Alps.

I was just reading about “The Singularity”.
Most people are placing it around 2040, but some think the machines can take over by 2020.
I think that we beat the machines with humor. They can’t understand it.
You just walk up to some laser shooting killer robot and say,
“Take my wife....please!”
Pretty soon, smoke is coming out of his head and flames are shooting out of his legs and he blows up.
It worked on my high school Vice-Principal.
