RoboDump is a robot. Sort of. And it poops. Sort of. Forever. A horrible, never-ending bowel movement complete with straining grunts, horrific gas, splashes, and pee sounds. Here’s the soundtrack. I snuck RoboDump into the men’s room at the office. It still went over well; the office was abuzz all morning with gossip about the guy in the bathroom. Several people theorized it was the CFO. The janitor commented to someone in the hallway that he wanted to clean the restroom but “this guy’s been in there all morning.” I also decided to dress it in businessware to make coworkers less likely to try to talk to it — if it looks like a customer or visiting bigwig, they’ll be less likely to offer help or ask for a courtesy flush.   ”
