Fri Nov 9 01:01:04 UTC 2012

The real "killer app" is iKILLS-U-2.0

Long title:
iAM Et Cetera, the D-finitive and D-facto h.n.i.c. and master of the 
planet, and so if I wants
your sorry ass dead, you is toast, motherfucker, so you don't really 
want to fuck with me.

Drones sold separately.

Batteries not included.

Sold only in grocery stores.
