Much like the insistence that <A target="_blank" href="http://paleo-future.blogspot.com/2007/05/gigantic-robots-to-fight-our-battles.html">giant robots would soon fight our wars</A>, this article clearly must be taken with a grain of salt.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://paleo-future.blogspot.com/2007/05/mechanical-man-of-future-1928.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/paleo-future.blogspot.com/img/529400F5-D2C2-4C7B-A14E-53561F714176" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://paleo-future.blogspot.com/2007/05/mechanical-man-of-future-1928.html"><DIV>The mechanical man, brazen-lunged creature of dreadful portent is among us! A few years from now you may rub elbows with him in the subway, turn out in the street to let him pass upon his ruthless way, or even, if you are a malefactor, <B>find yourself pinioned in his grip of cold steel</B> and compelled with unreasoning inflexibility toward a place of confinement.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://paleo-future.blogspot.com/2007/05/mechanical-man-of-future-1928.html">What can the mechanical man do? Plenty! He can walk, and he can talk. He can stand, sit, bow, and otherwise comport himself after the fashion of a human being. But he can do more than that. <B>He can shake hands and breathe, telephone, operate practically any electrical device, and perform any number of duties advantageous to mankind</B></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/35FAE026-051D-498C-8733-CB2504063EFA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
