Day 325 – Rocketman Bot
I wonder if he runs on curry or burritos?

Day 318 – Short Life Expectancy Bot
One would think that if you wore a red shirt, you’d look around the red shirt dorm in the starship, and at all your red shirt friends, and realize that there were a hell of a lot less of you than you started with. And then maybe you’d think “hey, it’s time for a new career!”.

Day 316 – Amelia Earhart Bot
I was all set to say that I’m a little afraid to mail this bot out because it might go missing in transit, but then I read the Amelia Earhart Wikipedia entry. And then I realized that she was actually totally kick-ass and amazing, and that a joke about her disappearance is actually kinda lame. And unfortunate. And probably not very funny.
Poop jokes are still fine though, right?

The four bots of the apocalypse: Death, Pestilence, Famine and Rambo. I mean, War.

Day 313 – Freddie Bot
Today is Victoria Day up here in Canada, but I wanted to celebrate my favourite Queen instead.
That’s right, the rock band.
WAYS IN WHICH QUEEN IS DIFFERENT THAN THE QUEEN:
1. less corgis
2. more sparkles
3. better outfits
4. less imperialism
5. more chest hair

Day 305 – Jumping the Shark Bot
So… I guess this means the bots are going downhill from here, folks.
I hope you are looking forward to Day #306: Silver Bot, Day #312: Robot bot, and Day #322: Stereotypical Robot a Day Bot.

Day 281 – Evil Mastermind Bot
(when you can see the brain, that means extra evil geniusness. Seriously, look it up. It’s so true.)

Day 280 – Atlas Bot
I know that holding up the celestial globe/world was a punishment and all, but what the heck does he do when his nose gets itchy?

Day 279 – Cerberus Bot
Cerberus is totally the best kind of dog; multiple heads for petting, but only one butt for pooping.*
That is, of course, assuming it’s not one of those drooly dogs, with the drooling and the mouth froth. Then you’ve got three times the spittle, as well. BUT ONLY 1 BUTT FOR POOPING. It’s still a win.
*I was going to make some sort of convoluted comment about how Cerberus guards the river Styx, and how the only Styx song I know is Sailing Away, and how intensely awesomely ridiculous that song is, but I though a poop joke was funnier. We like to keep it classy here at Robot a Day.

Day 276 – Napoleon Bot
It’s been awhile since high school history class, and I realized that I really only have two hazy recollections about Napoleon: he was a french dude who did some stuff, and he was shorty mcshortshort.
So, I thought I should probably fact check this, mostly because all I really remember about this unit was that the teacher played ABBA’s “Waterloo” for us (warning, the first bit of that video will totally give you seizures. And not just because of what Bjorn is wearing.). So I went where we all go when fact checking is needed: the Wikipedia.
The consensus:
1. Napoleon: TOTALLY FRENCH
2. Napoleon: TOTALLY A DUDE
3. Napoleon: TOTALLY DID SOME STUFF
4. Napoleon: TOTALLY WHO ABBA WAS SINGING ABOUT
5. Napoleon: NOT ACTUALLY THAT SHORT AFTER ALL.
So there you go. Mr. Bonaparte wasn’t labouring under a need to prove himself because of a height complex, he was labouring under a need to prove himself so he could take command and rule the world. Just like every other General-type dude in history.
