iRobot has just released the Verro Pool Cleaning Robot, an ominously amphibious robot that, unlike humans, does not die underwater.

The un-Photoshopped picture above shows the contraption trailing some sort of snakelike blue coil, with which it can apparently entangle humans and drag them beneath the surface for the 60 to 90 minutes it spends down there "cleaning."

Threats of suburban infidelity aside, I think I preferred the pool boy.
