Seems to me that goose is hanging out with a rough crowd.

The only problem with being so quick on the draw is that there will always be some hot-shot young artist who wants to draw faster than you, to make name for himself.

It makes me wonder about the directions robot evolution will take... more and more human, or just human enough to be practical?

And I wonder if the 'creepiness' will factor into the evolution, in that we might not accept a robot who is nearly human, but off a bit.

It worked. We're talking about it.

Look at the problems currently caused by alcohol in the 21st century. This century, in which are are so aware of the dangers and effects of alcohol and alcoholism, we still have alcohol involved in fifty percent of all driving fatalies, seventy-five percent of domestic violence incidents, half of all murders, and so on, down the list.

So imagine what it was like a century ago, before this modern awareness, before treatments and support groups. Imagine the devastation alcohol was causing then... murder, accidents, child abuse, suicides, fires, and more.

Suddenly an outright ban sounds like a reasonable response.

You never know what you'll capture with a chunk of haggis and a bit of ale in the trap.

Wouldn't it make more sense to shoot it?

I would guess that all ninja are samurai, but not all samurai are ninja.

Nature is endlessly icky.

So, wait... Does this bite, or not?

I forget which comedian said it, but...

"I don't know... I can see getting married, having a few kids, but a TATTOO? It's so PERMANENT."

Is the food on the floor?

No --> Don't drop it.
Yes --> Don't eat it.

Oh, look, it even has a place for a magazine.

They seem to have caught him in a reflective mood.

Nub fu.
