Cylon Roomba – they do exist

With my recent infiltration of the Roomba home world, I was able to capture behind-the-scenes footage of several Roombas as they plan the takeover of humanity. Kevin and Alex were right in Diggnation #71, this is how the first Cylon war begins.

Behind-the-scenes video:

    AVERT? WHY would you want to avert the war? There’s WAY too many humans for MY liking, I say bring on the Cylons.

    Feh! These little anklebiters? All you need is a couple of really hairy Persian cats (or a boyfriend from Central Europe). There’s nothing like coughing up a hairball to delay one’s plans for galactic domination.
