Your shares in a blowup doll factory are in trouble.  ;D

I'm generally creeped out by anything in "uncanny valley" territory, and that robot certainly qualifies.

Meh.  The only one who really has to worry is Star, what with him being majority owner and all.  :P

That is incredibly impressive!  :o I had no idea they had made that robot autonomous... Think of the possibilities for dangerous environment work....

I dont see why this is a surprise from the land that invented the mech to begin with.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Just remember what happens when someone tries to modify one of the three laws for quite practical and understandable reasons...

I was going the with the SkyNet universe not "I Robot".

I also just got done rewatching STTNG's "Datalore". That is a great good android/bad android story.

Although we all remember skynet and Hal, I try to remember the more hopeful robot characters, I.e  Robot and Frank, Data, JohnnyFive, Huey duey and Louie from silent running.
