Don’t get me wrong, I love robots as much as the next guy. I proudly sported the coolest Furby on the block. And whenever it came time for show-and-tell I was always jealous of the punk with a robot flipping dog from KB Toys. These days though, electronics and machinery are crowding our streets, weakening our minds, and making our lives way too easy.

As a reminder of who’s really top dog on this planet I’ve chosen to share with everyone some rather telling footage of the creepy Honda ASIMO Robot taking a few rough yet painless spills (much to the chagrin of any Japanese engineers out there). Click here and here to check it out and feel free to laugh sheepishly, because we can. Photo reveals the 20 year evolution of the ASIMO robot and was taken from ohgizmo.
