The end of civilisation?(sp)

Will the planet be working tomorrow? I have my doubts.

In The Terminator movie, life as we know it comes to a halt in 2029 when a military computer system called Skynet becomes self-aware and concludes that humans are obsolete.

It's a movie that they clearly missed at the Ministry of Defence. Yesterday, the MoD launched the world's most advanced military communications satellite called, get this, Skynet 5.

What have they done?

Keep your eyes peeled for a naked Arnie lookalike. He's here to save us.

Sad, but sounds like the author of that blog doesn't remember the Terminator movie either since Arnold's character in the first movie was trying to destroy humanity, not save it.

Yeah alot of people dont understand there was a movie called "The Terminator" before there was "Terminator 2". Moslt because the first film was low budget and Terimnator 2 is in the top 10 most expensive movies of all time and in the top of the highest grossing films of all time as well. T2 is the pinnacle of the Terminator franchise as T3 was...well dissapointing.
