Rarely have I read such an direct and accurate commntary. Happens to be on the topic of 'Sex Robots'

http://www.thesmokingjacket.com/lifestyle/sex-with-robots[^] Some great lines: "Slap a cyborg vagina on this twitching, limbless Pinocchio from hell and what you’ll have is the most successful commercial product of all time. Viagra is one of the biggest blockbuster drugs of all time and did it cure cancer? No. It gave geezers boners." "Women think guys don’t text back now? Just wait. A boyfriend will go missing for a month..." Given that sex made a success of VHS, Minitel and the Internet, this piece is entirely accurate. The one thing that will make robots succeed is the sex industry. Anyway, more on sex robots: http://www.cracked.com/blog/my-review-of-the-roxxxy-sex-robot/[^] And actualy somethign quite interesting about the way we perceive robots: The uncanny valley[^]

There was me thinking that the 'Uncanny Valley' was going to be a picture of a robot's vagina.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
You know what...? :)
