I know I reported last year that July 21st, 1984 was the date of the first US robot killing , but, well, maybe that was wrong . Or maybe this one’s wrong . But whatever the case, I’m always right. Always. 1979 : A 25-year-old Ford Motor assembly line worker is killed on the job in a Flint, Michigan, casting plant. It’s the first recorded human death by robot. Williams died instantly in 1979 when the robot’s arm slammed him as he was gathering parts in a storage facility, where the robot also retrieved parts. Williams’ family was later awarded $10 million in damages. The jury agreed the robot struck him in the head because of a lack of safety measures, including one that would sound an alarm if the robot was near. Pfft, robot alarms. The only sound you’re gonna hear if a robot nears me is samurai sword slicing through metal like hot margerine. Then, after that, *BANGARANG! BANGARANG! BANGARANG!* (Ancient teabagging mantra).

Growing up, my dad would only slow to 25MPH to drop me off at school , so I’m no stranger to bailing out of moving vehicles . Just not at Mach 2. That’s crazy talk. Now don’t get me wrong, I would still do it. BUT ONLY BECAUSE I DON’T GIVE A DANG. Movie producers paid two Sukhoi Su-35 pilots to fly without a canopy at Mach 2.0, and have one of them eject in what probably is one of the most dangerous stunts ever filmed. Two words, Russian movie producers: special effects . Just throwing that out there. Hit the jump for a shot of the remaining pilot flying with no canopy.

Typically I don’t post movie posters because that’s IWatchStuff’s job, but I’m making an exception in this case because DISNEY STOLE GEEKOLOGIE’S TAGLINE. You think you can just change “awesome” to “guinea pigs” (which, incidentally are a synonym for awesome) and get away with it? THINK AGAIN, YOU DIRTY RODENT ! Now, which one of you wants to call Disney and pretend to be a lawyer? Somebody with a deep voice. G-FORCE movie poster [disneydreaming] Thanks to Ben, who pleads guilty to dead sexiness.
