Cross Ambrose Bierce with Tim “Tool Time” Taylor, and you’ve got “A Robot Builder’s Tool Dictionary”. My favorite entry:

HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the really expensive parts nearest the object we are trying to hit.

The acidic eloquence of “The Devil’s Dictionary” isn’t quite there, but what can you expect from a bunch of combat-robot geeks?
