100% of robotical engineers have read Asimov and subscribe to his principals, even those working in the axis of evil...

I don't get it.

I do, however, get the benefit of a "Number Johnny 5" (said in Ben Javeri's voice) cameo.

I'm sure that in 30 years, max, we'll be able to purchase any favourite sci-fi robot, but some of them may need to be scaled. Since J5 is of a rather utilitarian design, I reckon he'll be a popular buy. I'll pick up a J5 for helping out in the home - carrying me to the can, wiping away my drool, and power-washing the fembot - and a Terminator to drive my limo.

Bring on the bots! May J5 live forever!]]>May 16th 2009 1:17AM
