Funkytown Goes Mr. Roboto

James Brown has won his immortality. James Brown--The grandmaster funk-a-delic, the Eigth Wonder of the World--has apparently bequeathed some of his spunk into a robot. That is a video of Rosie (a recently developed walking robot) making its way around the internet now. But pay special attention to Rosie's gait and tell me that her little stutter in the middle is not a James Brown "I Feel Good!" dance.

At least we now know that in the future when we're taken over by machines, and we're all carbon slaves, our silicon overlords will be funky. Can you imagine the Matrix with the Architect being James Brown? Wouldn't have been so bad, I bet.

Can I get a Gotchya!
