If America doesn't get off it's ass and invest in some robotics study, Japan is going to have a major advantage when "World War III: With Robots" happens. (or maybe Robot War I, or CyberWar? Anyway, we're so far behind the east in robotics, it's utterly pathetic.)<br><br>3. All this focus on dancing, playing soccer, and domestic chores, but I STILL don't have a Celebrity Look-Alike Robot Sex Slave.
