However, all of us used to crap into little bags that were attached to us at the time, if you recall (or not). I'm sure your parents thought that was just delightful as well.

But I love my dog. She'll eat intruders or at least give me enough time to get the heater :)

Dogs are good!]]>Feb 28th 2008 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/aibo-matches-real-dogs-in-chasing-away-loneliness-research-clai/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/aibo-matches-real-dogs-in-chasing-away-loneliness-research-clai/Feb 28th 2008 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/aibo-matches-real-dogs-in-chasing-away-loneliness-research-clai/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/aibo-matches-real-dogs-in-chasing-away-loneliness-research-clai/
Really hard to believed on this claim.
A good dog can detect when you are sad or even ill and act according the situation, helping even better that a expensive (and usually useless) psychologist, drugs or alcohol.

Turn that AIBO into the 'Gay Robot' talking robot from Adam Sandlers CD :D

'Hey guyths can anyone use a blowjob?' :D

Or even program the dog to move into certain positions, etc

YouTube AIBO, and youll see what some people have done... i haven't seen anything funny, most people have only programmed it for stupid voice crap and waht not, but hey the potential is there :)]]>Feb 28th 2008 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/aibo-matches-real-dogs-in-chasing-away-loneliness-research-clai/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/aibo-matches-real-dogs-in-chasing-away-loneliness-research-clai/http://www.overlay.tv/overlay/247

Anyway, why not create robotic elderly and phase them out, too? Then the robotic elderly can be entertained by the robotic dogs.
