Google Try Stop Terminator from Coming Back to Kill Larry & Sergey

Google and their plans for world domination are not exactly rare subjects in the news, but when our Google overlords do finally create a human crushing army of robots worthy of the Terminator franchise, at least Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have a slightly increased chance of not being wiped out.

With Google’s robots.txt file now being 20 years old, it looks like they’ve gone and added another search engine function to Google.com by adding the file Killer-Robots.txt in the event of a robotic Armageddon that results in a T-1000 or T-800 robot coming back through time to kill Larry or Sergey. Not that I’m sure a .txt file would be enough to stop a T-1000, that dude was pretty determined to kill John Connor.

The Robot.txt file now reads:

“User-Agent: T-1000
User-Agent: T-800
Disallow: /+LarryPage
Disallow: /+SergeyBrin”

It’s a nerdy joke, no doubt about it, but I bet Google Chairman Eric Schmidt feels a little hurt that no one in the company thought to protect him from SkyNet.

Thank you CNET for providing us with this information.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
