    This is a really interesting and admittedly funny article. I burst out laughing when I saw that he wants the robot to clean his ears with a Q-tip and do other things he hates to do-lol!!

        Weird Science! My invention! Is it real?! Plastic tubes and pots and pans, why don't people understand...my intention?
        Too bad the homefront doesn't have a counterpart to Hollywood. This guy doesn't have a future..he is the future!
        I really like open ended projects, when you can say: "I'm finished...for now".

        To borrow a line from "Heavy Metal" (Paraphrased):
        Sex with your robot just won't work, you fall in love...then one day you come home from work and catch it screwing the toaster!

          She's cute... nice skin. I saw this chick before..... I think it was at a "Rubber Maid" party.I bet the little tramp has been recycled a few times over the years. It puts a new meaning to the pharse..."you goy a rubber"

            If she's "the toast" of the town, let's call her "Melba".
            "Goy"? Are you practicing your Yiddish? As a matter of fact, I think she is goyim.

              Wow that's incredible. If a man living in his mom's basement can make something like that amazing, imagine what a multi-million or billion dollar company can make if they really invest some time and money into it.

                I love how she can read, and respond to actions in her environment. On the website he has some videos of her interacting with people. I loved the one where she slaps the hand away and calls him a pervert lol!
