My Google news alert on the word "robot" keeps emailing me articles about Galib Andang, a Philippine Muslim guerilla leader better known as Commander Robot. That sounds like the name of a fun toy, so the articles always get my attention, but they are all about the horrible crimes he has committed, or his bloody capture.
Today I learned that he is in a hospital in Manila, and his left leg has been amputated. But it sounds like he might finally live up to his name:
A battery-operated artificial leg made mostly from wood, which is cheaper than prosthetics made with tantalum or platinum, will replace Andang's lost leg.
