unstoppable force

In the cool/kinda-scary news for the day, a robot that replicates itself has been developed. There are probably safeguards against this, but if a "cancerous" robot couldn't stop replicating itself? How would we deal with it? Food for thought. Oh, about food, that College Survival Manual I was thinking about compiling a few months ago received 0 contributions (maybe 1, I don't remember) so that's been scrapped. But the cheap/free food section will go on. I couldn't really complete it during the school year since the price of food was irrelevant--IU students have a lot of meal points that can only be spent at the dorm cafeterias and convenience stores, and they don't "roll-over" between school years. But now, I have incentive to live/eat cheaply/freely. "Eating freely" doesn't make a lot of sense but you know what I mean But here goes Tip 1: Never eat at Dragon Express (Thanks to Tony for the tip) Well, replace Dragon Express with any Chinese food place besides China Buffet. At China Buffet, never eat the buffet. Get the take-out box, and use the 10% AAA membership discount if you are cool. PACK BIG FIRST, THEN SMALL. Similar to Joe's observation that it's easier to pack socks last, cause they fit in all the nooks and crannies, pack the General Tso's Chicken, Triple Meat Delight, and Chicken and Broccoli first. Go for the lo mein and cashew chicken last. DO NOT PACK RICE. As Tony explained, "Rice is a waste of space." Rice is cheap, so might as well cook it yourself at home. I will cook it for you if you give me some lo mein. USE THE CUP TO GET SOUP, NOT A DRINK. Yes, it's legal to get soup with your cup. And it's a much better deal. Go home and get a cup of water to drink. That's much healthier too. What, you want to drink something besides water? And you want to be a foodskate? You're wasting my time, get out of my face. INSULATE THE SUSHI. If you get the raw sushi, put it over a bed of lo mein so the fish doesn't get "cooked" by the hot meats on the bottom. Such a strategy gave me two large dinners. Happy take-outing! Until next time, watch out for those fungabots!
