A robotic nurse called Waldo had a short circuit which caused him to go on a rampage.A short circuit or that thing from IRobot, the ghost in the machine?

FULL STORY: Waldo runs riot!

From the SFGate Article, about 1/3 of the way down the page the story starts.

Notice the section - Odds and Sods. They've got all sorts of articles there. TheRegister is a... news source.

NOT news. But funny nonetheless.
