Attention geeky parents! What better way to introduce your little kids to the wonderful world of computing than with this three-letter learning game What's GNU?
The object of the game is to form three-letter words as quickly as possible (and by playing it, you'll be teaching your kids to read and form words). http://www.thinkfun.com/PRODUCT.ASPX?PageNo=PRODUCT&Catalog=By%20Category&Category=5YOUNG&ProductId=7760
But What is GNU? If you know the answer, you're truly geeky! Don't know what it is? Here's a clue.

What parent wouldn't be proud if their child grew up to be an unwashed, barefoot, socialist that goes around the world ranting how money is bad.

Everyone has influences. You just can't do anything that doesn't have elements of something else. Some may be direct influence, or and artist or authors come up with similar ideas independently.
Even in the case of the obvious similarities between C3PO and the lady robot in "Metropolis"... It is not a stretch for any Sci-Fi author to imagine a metal humanoid robot. Just try to come up with something that doesn't look influenced by "Metropolis".
There is still room to be creative, despite similarities to other works. The same people that designed the characters in Star Wars also did the ships and those were certainly quit different from what had been seen before.
