I'd be pretty unhappy if something should happen to BigEd.

HITCHBOT "KILLED" IN PHILADELPHIA
A robot that was designed to explore the goodwill of others made it all the way across the country and the world unscathed. When it arrived in Philadelphia, vandals ripped its head off and stole all of its electronics. No one knows who destroyed hitchBOT or why.

The robot, an experiment in the kindness of strangers, lasted just 300 miles in the U.S. after successfully making it more than 3,000 miles across Canada.wapo.st/1fZQEQQ

Poor hitchBOT- he set out to show the goodness of people and ended up getting destroyed somewhere right here in Philadelphia after an amazing adventure so far. So sad, embarrassing, stupid that it had to happen here in the City of Brotherly Love.6abc.com/898424/



I mean, how is putting a robot in your car and driving it around like a weirdo a sign of human kindness?

Also, settle the hell down, sarah.

I think it's a bummer

these are the pros and cons of hitchhiking

It had a face. It was cute. You are a heartless lion-hater.

Well, that's the problem. We care because the robot is cute. And yet we all cheer when this guy dies. Be hypocritical much?

YEA

It's just annoying that people played along with sending this thing around the country, then it gets here and assholes have to ruin things for everyone else. Probably robbed it for its copper

AND SPEAKING OF FINISHED.....Will Smith and Jada Pinkett are divorcing after 17 years

Uh-oh...that's really going to mess up their kids.

Given a chance... That lion would eat my ass, hitchbot probably not.

That lion would eat your ass, the robot would just eat your ass

Wil Wheaton isn't funny. Why do people think Wil Wheaton is funny.

never heard of em

I don't think Wheaton is that funny. But, he likes many of the things I like, so I like the things he presents that are about the things I like. Tabletop is great, Titansgrave is pretty good, too. I enjoyed him on Eureka. And I've watched one episode of Big Bang Theory but he wasn't there.

so this thing makes it across 3 other countries without issue and gets destroyed before making it, what, 20% of the way across the country in America and that is not interesting at all? people should just say "heh, go figure"?
