Where's Waldo (the Submarine)? 107
stoolpigeon writes "Scientists on Florida's Gulf Coast are trying to find an underwater robot that has mysteriously vanished. The robot from the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota has been missing since Monday. The robot, which cost about $100,000, was equipped with a detector to find red tide, a toxic algae bloom. The detector was valued at another $30,000. Scientists aren't sure what happened to the robot, which is nicknamed Waldo."

Waldo got lost, is all. I've been working all day to unclog the toilet. It was WALDO, trying to get out of the sewer!! I'm gonna sue, I tell you - they should have given him a Debian operating system! Microsoft streets, for God's sake!

Picture it.
The last page of the last book. There, a surprise, instead of the usual page-filling drawing of intricate details, once intriguing and exciting but now just annoying and yawn-inducing, there's only a corner with the usual crowd next to a lake. A deep lake that you can see into; its depths cover most of the page. Where's Waldo?
There he is. At the bottom of the lake. Still, cold, and alone.
Aaaaahhhh. Sweet closure.

And then they stuck it in the middle of a red tide. You'd think they'd know better.

Though even if it did, being batter powered would make it useless if the batteries are drained.
It's a robotic submarine, not a deep-fried fish. Although I can understand the confusion.

They'll find it washed up on the beach with the rims and stereo missing.
