A peek inside the "Hollywood Science Fiction or Grim Glimpse At Our Own, Apocalyptic Future?" file today reveals two exciting, end-of-the- world-hastening news items seemingly plucked from the stack of scripts on Michael Bay's nightstand:
· Scientists have finally nailed how and when the world will end: "The sun will slowly expand into a red giant, pushing the Earth farther out into space, but not far enough." The good news is that that is almost 8 billion years away. The bad news is that all life on Earth will have been extinguished long before that, as "the slowly expanding sun boils off the oceans and reduces our planet to an uninhabitable cinder." [Fox News]

· According to an article headlined, "Automated killer robots 'threat to humanity,'" A.I. expert Prof. Noel Sharkey says that robot killing machines currently employed by the military "pose a threat to humanity." They can "already identify and lock onto targets without human help," and might "one day unleash a robot arms race." Luckily, the introduction of the reprogrammed-for-good Tween-2000 Jailbait Killing machine model, eerily predicted by a Fox science fiction series way back in the early 2000s, will help to defend humanity against this seemingly unwinnable robot war.
