We're all scared of killer robots, but deep down we hope that one day our robot creations will be our friends. And lovers. There's something disturbing about the notion of a robot sex slave, but we like to imagine that one day robots will love us of their own free will. And that some of us will be cyborgs. That's why…

What if George R.R. Martin's third Song of Ice and Fire book was called A Storm of Bananas? That's the sort of question you are forced to contemplate, after spending some time looking at the "Swords Replaced With Bananas" images over at SomethingAwful. This might be the best Photoshop meme in ages. Especially when you…
