[pi-rat]

A friend's Roomba committed suicide. He got home one day, and the apartment was filled with steam. Walked into the bathroom, shower was on, with the Roomba just sitting there getting soaked. It had managed to pull the hose while hoovering, and the hose yanked the valve handle.

My friends' Roomba often seemed like it was trying to kill itself. I've had to untangle it from its perils far too often to think its an accident. Nothing says "maybe we should move to the country" more than a robot trying to persistently kill itself with whatever macbook cables it can find, ingest and use to flip itself over, grinding over and over on the insulation until it finally gets that .. one .. last spark .. it needs to end it all. Seriously, happens often.
