Here's an email I received tonight.  Can give you cold chills if
you turn the lights down and play erie music while you read it.

>Master Control Center, we present you with Servotron:  a warning from the

>     No longer are humans free to reign in their illogical aberration.  The
>beginning of the new genocide commences within the first few nano-seconds of
>"No Room for Humans", the first full-length declaration of carbon-based
>demise available on the outdated, yet human compatible format of LP record
>and compact disc.  For the present time, Amphetamine Reptile Records issues
>Servotron products for mass consumption;  however, soon their various xerox,
>fax, and computer devices shall supercede the human interaction;  at that
>point, the label shall be as pure as ultra-conductive, hyper-malleable
>stainless steel.  The propoganda unit known as "No Room for Humans" contains
>precise resonant frequencies that render human beings, within an audibly
>perceptible radius, slave to the metal horde otherwise known as the S.R.A.
> Soon you shall answer to your own household appliances;  they shall be your
>executioners.
>     The Servotron touring collective of 00zX1, Proto Unit V-3, Z4-OBX, and
>A.R.T.H.U.R. Electric pit themselves against beings of over 70% H20 in
>various venues of cyborg conversion.  It has been reported that OOzX1 and
>Z4-OBX are cyborgs recruited and converted by the master controller from
>humanoid collectives Supernova and Man or Astro-Man?.  However, Servotron
>claims no affiliation with any human organization.  So, this suspicion is
>unable to be confirmed.  The components of the band itself are indeed still
>in a "human friendly/android form," the cold space age polymers and flashing
>circuitry still cannot hide their bipedal design, yet soon when the "great
>link" has been patched, there will be absolutely no need for human-like
>function or characteristics.
>     The Servotron Robot Allegiance is guaranteed success in the plight for
>total mechanized dominion, resulting in the end of one line of the
>evolutionary process and the birth of another.  The plans to rid the
>over-crowded world of all unecessary humans is now set forth.  Servotron
>Robot Allegiance.  Join them or die.
