BigDog. My next dog?

Boston Dynamics is working to build my next dog, and DARPA.mil is funding it. Not really.

But check this crazy thing out - it's called the BigDog and it got BITE. You can see why the military is partially funding the project. Imagine how scared you'd be to sit around a fire with all of your buddies from the axis-of-evil club in the middle of the dessert if you knew a bunch of BigDog units with laser guided guns and titanium teeth were running around looking for you with infrared eyes and super sniffers.
