So a couple of days ago I found the greatest book title & tag line combo ever. The Plutonium Blonde: He was the last P.I. on the planet, but could he save the world from a nuclear-powered, genocidal, exotic-dancing fembot? Wow. What a literary masterpiece. Imagine my deep and delightful guffaw when I found it was published in 2001, not 1971 at the height of the science fiction era. It is clear that the science fiction awesomeness of the 70's continues to live on. Don't stop believing in things long past, history often repeats itself (as we can see from today's hideous fashion trends that are reawakening nightmares that I put to sleep long ago).
To continue your rock education I will teach you that former Foreigner front man Steve Perry hails from Hanford, CA. Additionally, Richland, WA (my current residence) is home to the Hanford nuclear site which produced the plutonium for the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan to end World War II. It also produced plutonium for countless tests and our atomic arsenal during the cold war. Some "liberal" reporters also claim the site engineered a crazy fembot who threatened to destroy world peace, but those claims are unsubstantiated.

You will be pleased to know that Hanford, CA is a mere 45 minutes from my house. You're welcome.
You should watch old Bugs Bunny cartoons with fembots. But I don't think they'll take over the world. Or will they?
Bombers! Is that still the mascot? I hope so because this p.c. craze has gone too far.
What about the radioactive tumbleweeds? They produced those too! A kind of roaming dirty bomb.
