Forget about the zombie apocolypse, forget about alien invasion. The real worry is skynet. With the recent announcements around the advancement of nano technology in computing, fully autonomous robots will be here any day now.

re-telling history like a boss

Ever finish a meal, and declare to your friends that you’re off to the vomitorium like the Romans did in Roman times? Ever dress up like a viking with horns on your helmet? Ever tell the one about the time when Christopher Columbus risked falling of the edge of an allegedly flat earth to prove that it was round? Well, prepare to eat some humble pie.
