If machines became self-aware...

Hollywood has made movies about this stuff. Schwarzenegger has done steroids over this stuff..but if machines did become self aware, do you think they will go all out to wreak vengeance on us...or maybe, they will simply, er, flip the bird?!?!!

Spokane, Washington has some evidence...a pedestrian crossing sign makes a definitive "sign" when asking you not to walk. Of course, city officials would like for you to think otherwise. Speculations range from,

a. A glitch (yeah, right you say?), or,

b. snow, that is wedged into the sign.

I am sure reasoning "b" would be acceptable...however, look at the image and/or the video and judge for yourself!
