    Must not be a guy robot. Guy robots would rather just charge on ahead blindly, right past the fire, instead of asking for directions.

    @Log1c: Very good point.


    "Damnit, honey, there's a fire. Who cares about physical boundaries at this point??"


    "Yes dear, but did you have to run over the hot dog vendor?"

    Why WALL-E? It's definitely a female bot. No male asks for directions.


    Take my wife please...

    Hunh. I thought real robots didn't ask for directions.


    Also, "Paul Newman"? Everyone knows that when the shiny ones come, they will assume the identities of Hollywood's greatest actors in order to gain our trust and love.

    @TemporalSword: I swear, all the robot masterminds have to do is cover themselves in baubles and trinkets and we'd all just fall over ourselves trying to get at them. See also: Mardi Gras.

    @crashedpc : ゴキブリ and 蟑螂 division: And I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.


    Also, I went to Mardi Gras, though the things I remember most from that trip I wouldn't call shiney...
