Robot Surgeon Saves Fleshy Ones, Hummer Limo Goes On Rampage, And So Much For The Leafs (Again)
Robot surgeon at St. Michael's proving extremely successful. Our future robot overlords approve of the surgeon's actions, as he gathers critical data about the obsolete meat sacks who, through the accident called evolution, have dominated the planet until now.
Crazy Hummer-limo joyride leaves destruction in its wake. The total damages included one person with minor injuries, a hydro pole, three vehicles and a house. While Torontoist, of course, condemns the twenty-year-old idiot who took the Hummer-limo for a joyride, secretly we also kind of think it is slightly awesome in a Mad Max sort of way.
Ontario government urged to review all pediatric autopsies since 1981. All cases from 1992 to 2002 involving Dr. Charles "No, I'm Sure That's A Head Wound Right There" Smith are currently under probe by public inquiry, but Smith consulted on more cases than he officially handled and it's not as if one day he suffered a head wound and then became a really bad pathologist instantly. (Although, in fairness, this is Dr. Smith's theory.)
David Miller writes public letter to Stephen Harper calling for a total handgun ban in Canada. Yeah. That'll work.
Finally, the Bruins ended the hopes of a Toronto playoff run this season. Admittedly, this hope only existed in the hearts of foolish dreamers and sad unicorns everywhere.

Death Race 2000 maybe... Mad Max was more glamourizing automotive violence.
Now with the Maple Leafs out of the way, the ACC can be rented out for more profitable ventures.
David E: Nothing is more profitable than the Maple Leafs. They are the cash cow that made the Toronto Raports possible, the ACC possible, the soon-to-be constructed office/condo development, etc, etc, etc.
Forget surgery. Robots should be driving Hummer limos; now THAT would save lives....
Is that the work of the same artist of the robot mural near Queen and Carlaw? I've always liked that mural, but unfortunately it was defaced a few months ago.
