Apparently someone has applied a Japanese technology that makes energy out of blood and applied it to a fly-eating clock.

In my opinion, anything mechanical yet powered by blood is instantly horrifying.

Well, good. Without the blood, I'll be able to hide in your bushes better.

With this technology, the Mafia can dispose of bodies and generate surplus power too.

Lol. We should bring them into war and make power out of the dead. Even though that is ungrateful we can put a stick that has a cardboard stapled to it saying "HEZ DIEZ ON DIZ TURFZ!" in crude writing for the fallen.

We should mount giant versions of these on tanks.

That way, all we have to do to keep it going is hit pedestrians.

Maybe we can get environmentalists to sacrifice themselves to fight global warming and help control the population. :p

Environmentalists tend to be the ones who are already fighting global warming and overpopulation.

If we want to make an impact, it would need to be people who oppose combatting climate control - like the oil barons. And people that drive Hummers.
