We all know by now about the threat of superbugs in
hospitals, but many may not know about one famous hospital’s tactic to stop
them: robots. Yes, Johns Hopkins has developed a way to mitigate the spread of
superbugs, and that’s with a new breed of robots whose job it is to
“exterminate, exterminate, exterminate” superbugs through the deployment of
hydrogen peroxide vapor. And these robots look very much like Daleks, being as
they are like big mobile trash cans with semi-rounded heads, spraying deadly
stuff at their enemies (which for now are superbugs).
So doesn’t it all make sense now what happened, and how the
Daleks came to be? Obviously the future generations of these robots, designed to
exterminate superbugs, were built by automated computerized systems, and when
the machines became self-aware, they decided people were the real threat and
simply altered the Daleks mission to attack human beings instead of superbugs. You know
it’s true! (Oh, the humanity!)
So we did it to ourselves! (Oh, the pathos!)
Here’s a video segment from CBS Sunday Morning that features
these early Dalek prototypes, proving that this is the origin of the Daleks
(The Proto-Daleks show up at 3:04):
This is what Daleks look and sound like:
Here’s a trailer of a movie showing the Daleks shooting
people with their deadly vapor weapon (Vapor weapons shooting people at 0:32):
And here’s the robotic story, for those who’d rather read:
