Emperor Devon Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Sounds good. Now they won't use 4-year olds as jockeys. (Provided the robot works.) If you've ever read the prequals to the dune series, this'll make you very nervous... Robots! On camels! THEY'LL ENSLAVE US ALL!! Whoops, got carried away... *laughs meekly* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derc Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Activists say there are about 40,000 boy jockeys, some as young as 4, who are either bought from their parents or kidnapped from their home countries and taken to the Gulf to ride. WTF? Well, what'll happen to them now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabretooth Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Heard of this in da Swamp. That's a good idea, actually. Camel racing with 4-year olds is as good as podracing with non-functional droids. Or something close to that. Whatever the case, the Middle-East area will always be a little weird in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
