The first known human killed by a robot was in 1981, when a robotic arm, no doubt in a diabolical plot to try to take over the world, crushed a Japanese Kawasaki factory worker.

This is incorrect. The first man to be killed by a robot was Mr. Robert Williams in 1971.
@Heather: I’ve read that story of Robert Williams, but unlike the above, there doesn’t really exist any hard documented evidence for Williams. That’s not to say he wasn’t killed by one, just I need a well-documented story to post it as fact.
