Still Waters Posted December 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Automatonophobia is the technical term for fear of robots. Fear of sharks is selachophobia. Psychiatrists will have to come up with a new term now that the U.S. Navy has deployed, yes, robot sharks. The Navy's GhostSwimmer unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) -- a five-foot-long, 100-pound robotic shark -- has completed testing and will now join the fleet, according to naval researchers. http://news.discover...#mkcpgn=rssnws1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandpa Greenman Posted December 20, 2014 #5 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I think the antenna is kind of a give away, but if it stops them from using live animals that would good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have actually hugged trees myself! Once, I couldn't find my tree stand and the first light of day was about to dawn...and I didn't want to miss my shot at that beautiful 8 point buck I knew would pass early after day light...so I just slung my 30 30 over my back, stuck my pistol in my belt behind my back and hugged that tree till I was about 12 feet up. About the time I got settled...there he was...yeah...I love tree hugging too babe! (tee hee) Actually I have only hunted deer once in my life and almost got killed by my friend in the process. And I always wear sandals and love the beach because...well...I'm a Cancer too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
