And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And I'm sure that will be a great comfort to the survivors of the robot zombie apocalypse.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Have you never seen even one post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie??
Clearly, we need more pre-apocalyptic sci-fi movies to make the point. Or pre-apocalyptic sci-fi TV shows like The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Well, hey, if its not their mission that's fine. It's not like their working their way toward being the evil overlords of a flesh-eating robot army.
Because, of course, if they WERE they'd just say so.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, come on, you guys. Terminator has taught us all to be wary of killer robots with glowing red eyes, yes, but these robots have glowing GREEN eyes. They're fine.

I say that when she can snatch a fly out of the air, she's qualified to be president, not before.
It's at least as good a metric as the conservative classmate proposes.
