Things this super-strong robot hand from Germany can do: 1) Strangle people. 2) Crush people. 3) Set fire to people. 4) Once the people are gone, move into a nice house and crush all people-related stuff. 5) Build terrifying flying robots with 12 hands to root out remaining people and strangle them.

  • Malene’s interests and hobbies include Schadenfreude, sci-fi and fantasy (good and bad alike), hilarious hair pieces, age-inappropriate celebrity crushes, messed-up starlets, waiting for the next Star Trek movie, hating Björk, creative profanity, disobedient robots, fake celebrity relationships, post-apocalyptic dread, singing super-villains, baseball, David Beckham (but only when he keeps his mouth shut), vampires and knitting tiny sweaters for her seven cats. That’s not true. Maybe.
