NOVA correspondent Chad Cohen meets a friendly humanoid robot that assures him it will put him comfortably in a “people zoo” once the robocalypse comes and machines rule the Earth.
As if that’s not unsettling enough, the robot’s lifelike appearance is modeled on legendary sci-fi author Philip K. Dick, whose books were the basis for dark visions of the future like Blade Runner, Minority Report and A Scanner Darkly.

Joke Of The Day
Passing by the primate area one day, a zoo attendant happens to notice a chimpanzee sitting on a rock with an open book in either hand, looking first at one and then at the other. Upon closer examination, he identifies the books: the Bible and Darwin’s Origin of Species.
Curious, he asks the chimp, “What’s with the books?”
The chimp replies, “I’m trying to decide whether I’m my brother’s keeper or my keeper’s brother.”
