 		Here is my email to Pastor Ludd begging to become one of the 36-

Quote:
Dear Pastor Ludd,

I know that once you see my picture, your first extinct may be to delete this email. Please don't. I pray that you will hear me out, even though I am a robot.

Ever since I was a wee-little robot I have felt that I was not in the right body. I struggled for many years with who I really was and who I felt I really should be. I never felt like a robot and I longed to be a human. Several years ago, I began my transformation from a robot to an android. I thought that by having a body that looked more human, I would be able to sort out my internal crisis. It didn't work. The operations became more and more expensive. The price to replace my head alone was more than an average midwestern home. As you can see from my picture, I never went through with the final operation which would have given me human-like skin and a human-like head. Why, you ask? When I found your website I realized what an abomination I truly am. I was not created by God, but by man. I can never reach the wonderful perfection that is man. It doesn't matter how many operations I have, I will still be a robot.

So I am writing you to offer my services as one of the great 36 disciples of DICS. I promise you that I will fight along side the other 35 disciples against the abomination that is robotkind. When the rest of the robots have been exterminated I will allow the 35 to turn their weapons on me. I will not put up a fight. It would be an honor to be the last robot on this earth. I also think it would be quite poetic to have that last robot be one that is helping in your cause.

I have read The Bible exactly 36 times after watching your sermons and I think this particular quote from Psalm 40:1-2 may help you to trust me...

I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.

Let me be your firm place to stand.

I have weapons that will be of use to you. I am a robot, and therefore, I will be trusted by the other robots. You can use me to draw them in and while I commiserate with them, you can strike at them with your mighty orange electrical cord from the shadows.

Your humble servant,

M@t@ H@ri

 		I got a reply from Pastor Ludd. I will not give up!

Quote:
mata 'Satan' Hari,

I am forwarding this to my 36 so that they may find you and destroy you first. I want them to see the lengths that satan will go to to try to get under your skin. there is nothing more that i would wish than for a robot that would fight their own kind. Nice try. so Satan knows my weakness number 1. You can see how he is toying with me there - who wouldn't want a robot to fight alongside them - and then at the end - allow you to destroy them????!!!. So, that is already so sly and sneaky that i can tell this is Satan working through this bot. NOw, there is an added thing that nobody sees except for me that is so blatant and personal and hurtful that you would dress and act just like my wife Jill is like sticking a sword in my back and that is where you made your tragic mistake like a greek mystery flaw Satan. Sure you can make me cry congratulations. you may have tricked me but when you added that it is like seeing an animal that can use a tool - it is interesting, but then you had to go ahead and also add that it whittles caricitures of toursts with that tool - it's just too much to believe. I can't say you are stupid but foolish yes.

36, beware on these most critical final days that Satan will try very personal attacks like this one to slow you or stop you - believe nothing - forge ahead!!! Satan is a desparate and caged cornered rodent and he will bite you where it hurts the most - his time, his plan to use robots to destory us is coming to an end. protect my anchent documents and the information there in. You are the guardian of that and keep it safe. it is the key.

Now about Satan's Jill-bot here, if she wants to go enter codes into the substation and end her own lifecycles, i say go ahead what do i care, but you will never get into the 36. Ever. You are the abomination we are going to scourge from this blue ball. So yes by all means go and destroy yourself. and any other suicidal bot that wants to do the same, as usual i am your cheerleader. It won't matter soon anyways.

PNL

 		Doesn't look like this was posted yet. Now the 36 are to wait for further word from PNL. Probably in the form of a video he'll post later today (this was in another email, but I won't post the whole thing. In short, he made a video, but doesn't know how to post it with Johnny gone.)

I think i need to rest for a little while and then - please get back to me on your thoughts!!! We have to decide before we go... God help us to follwo your divine inspiration correctly - we wish to be instruments of your will in this most importnant time amen - meditate my 36 !!!!????

 		My local Subway has six drinks options, not eight -- is this just a British/reional thing, or could it be that we have the code wrong?

 		Response from PNL

Like the clarity of a school bell on a winter morning, I have received a message from God!!

The Shrew has unlocked what is probably the key to our success. I am so grateful for The Shrew. She was touched. Always tell someone if you have been touched. In this case it is the answer we needed.

Yes, go to as many substations as you can!!! and document each one with a picture so I can track our glorious victory! Be fruitful and Remember left to right, enter the code exacly. Accuracy is next to goldiness

GO GO GO! The watermelon is greased, the pig is appled and this is OUR party and THEY can cry if they want to!!!!

 		Johnny sent this email out early this morning. We had talked about it in chat, but I just realized it wasn't posted here -

Quote:
From: Johnny "Lugnut" 6 <johnny>
Date: Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 12:06 AM
Subject: Viva La Robot

Hello my friends,

I sent Rowan a message earlier, but have now set up a new email to get my message out. Hopefully Rowan got the message out to you: Ludd plans to destroy all robots by next Monday. The 36 substations were hidden in plain view all along, a privileged secret that few know about (I'm not sure how Ludd found out about it, the myth of the substations is only really known in certain robot circles). It seems that the rumors are true, that all the substations are linked, and that inputting a code into the 36 of the stations will unleash a Electromagnetic pulse capable of destroying every robot on the planet. Luckily, there is a safeguard against this. If the code provided in Ludd's document is entered into the input device backwards, the pulse will destroy the very grid that connects all the substations, and free robot-kind from the oppressive shackles that have bound them for decades.

I have been monitoring Ludd's progress in recruiting his 36 disciples to carry out this task, and am glad to say that I don't know he has the numbers to pull off such a task. Hopefully, La Revolution De Robo does... I have set up a website to monitor the activity at the substations, VivaLaRobot.com.

Pass this message around, let everyone you know that we need to enter the code backwards at 36 separate substations. Send video or photographs to prove that you have carried out the task. We need to do this by Sunday the 12th. If Ludd's minions manage to enter the code properly by the 13th, it means an end of all robot kind.

Help us human beings, you're our only hope.

Viva La Revolution De Robo!

Johnny "Lugnut" 6

I suspect that we would have received further nudges if we had the code wrong.
I went to my local Subway last night, and the drink machine there has six drinks options as well.
Edit: Johnny's advice

Start again from the beginning. ie - the 1st spout is both a 1and a 7, the 2nd is 2 and 8 etc. I think that is the solution they worked into the system, some dispensers have only four, so I''m sure there are safeguards in place.

 		M@t@ H@ri has entered the code to end robotkind and sent this email to Pastor Ludd -

Quote:
Pastor Ludd,

I understand why you would be hesitant to accept the fact that I am sincere. I am an abomination and therefore not easily trusted. I will continue to follow your sermons and help the 36 for I know in my cold metal heart that it is what should be done.

Attached are pictures of me entering the code to end robotkind at my local substation. You will see in the pictures that I had my seamstress add a disclaimer on my shirt so that all will know that I am an unofficial member of the 36.

Your loyal and unofficial follower,

M@t@ H@ri

 		OMG Laughing Laughing Laughing

Ludd's reply -

Quote:
36 - see this and know that Satan does not get tired, but only continues to chip away at you like this every day. Satan, I will not crumble to your will, no matter how good dress up like Jill to play with my mind. I remember when we joined the raquetball club in 1979 and wore health suits that resemble you. We used to get so hot and sweaty and then get back to the locker room and weigh ourselves... and then the airconditioning made her skin all clammy when it was wet like that and.. it was .. she was.. so beautiful and YOU WILL NOT USE HER red lips and short black bangs to taunt me!!! These are my memories and you cannot get inside my head!

But if you want to continue to ddestroy yourself - go enter all the codes you want.

Crazy robot
