    Before Human-Cylon Love, There Was A Dude And His Cherry 2000

    You didn't think Number Six was really the first blond sex bot to tangle with a human, did you? Here's a great human-bot bonding moment, from the cheesy mid-1980s flick Cherry 2000. The moment is also tragic because our hero does what you should never do with a piece of consumer electronics: dunk it in water. Oops!

    Luckily, he later meets a human chick who protects him from some bad guys and shows him that robot ladies aren't as good as biological ones. I feel like there is some anti-robot prejudice here. If I were choosing between Melanie Griffith and the Cherry 2000, I would totally do that robot.
