I couldn’t see the novelty, because I thought I saw this robot before. After a short search on Flickr I could come up with this proof of prior art.

As American night talk show presenters would say, an illegal robot from Mexico might do the job on the cheap. The NFS money could be then saved and used for installing the Latino robots on the US Southern fence, which will be the second man-made item visible from the outer space.
On a separate news item, I learned that the following image recreates closely the contemporary Baghdad scenery.

Notice the world-famous three stripes? Don’t they go great with what looks like a male version of the Burqa? We have the proof that not only the German government opposed the Iraq occupation, but also German private companies, such as Adidas, sponsored the Jihaddis. The Devil might wear Prada, but the Halal wears Adidas.
