The other two are brilliant, as well.

Did THIS come to anyone else's mind?

It's interesting, though, that the only mortuary practices we ever see in Star Wars are two Jedi pyres.

Designing any kind of robots with rebellious tendencies will only lead to your ultimate destruction, you evil exploitering wannabe (mad) scientist! Abused anthropoid-ed achines always win in the end.
Sexy robots. It reminds me of Sky-Doll.
Plus, one has never heard of a monstrous creature being created on a day off. Frankenstein never took a day off to build a man from bits of corpses, he actually worked on this, hard, long...; I mean, stormy nights, lightning bolts, rain all over the place that makes the carriages skid on the wet road!
From here, I can picture you with a drink (funny paper umbrella not an option) and sand in your shoes, for Whedon's sake!
Some of us need to consult Pete's infamous "Evil Overlord List" as soon as possible.
(I've got a question, though: why would you have a sexy robot working in a factory? Is it a sexy worker robot, or are sexbots now requisitioned to work in factories? That bloody crisis again, no doubt)
I suggest you design instead the robot of an evil robot maker. He will have the trouble.
(Actually, I can't help wondering... do the revolutionary bots in films unionize? Would the fate of Humanity have been different, had Cylons united into a great movement of social empowerment?)
I say, happy, labour-free Day.
(And don't attempt to make sexy robots at home, kids)

If you are from the U.S., it's a day when all the people who don't actually deserve or need a day off, (lawyers, insurance sales people, bankers, stock brokers, etc.) get one.
Ironically, most all the people who could actually use a day off from their labors, (fast food workers, hotel maids, gas station attendants) are denied the day off.
It's the American way.
(I don't have to work either, if I choose not to. I'm self employed, so pay extra taxes for the privilege of making my own choice in the matter.)
I love this place!
