Balderdash, Burneko. Hitchbot may have been a tin can, but he was a whimsy-infused tin can! He didn’t do anything earth-shattering except bring joy to all those who encountered him, which is one of the worthiest functions someone or something can perform. The missing link who shattered his frail body, and you, can not…

“It’s about a land-based Aqua-man” - this is the best thing I’ve read all day.

Outbreak portions of zombie flicks and stories are always my favorite parts... The confusion, the disbelief, the inescapable horror!

There’s actually a very good movie about it: Day One. It was a tv movie, now available on dvd. Also, Fat Man and Little Boy isn’t too bad.
