Octopus Posse

It may be true that the present state of development of robotic tentacles hasn’t progressed very far, but that’s okay, we know that the future is going to be full of robot octopi, and each one of them is going to have a posse. you can get the shirt ahead of time for $20.

Here’s what ThinkGeek has to say about the shirt:

“A [collective noun] of robots is printed in black on this grass green t-shirt that’s 100% fine jersey cotton.”

Now, I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s time to get serious. We’ve got to come up with a collective noun for robots. A really, really good one. Because if nobody has one yet, this is our BIG CHANCE to influence the lexicographic outcome of our society.

So what’s it going to take to get your creative juices flowing? Bribery? Threats? Let us know in the comments.
