Man, you must have some entertaining dreams. Or are they nightmares? I hear vitamin B-1 helps with that.

Don’t lose your head :-)

“Scary thoughts.”

Frequent ones that I ponder, late at night, with insomnia as a not-so-boon companion.

I've never been a fan of the late night creepy genre. I lived through the real thing for longer than I care to remember.

Vitamin B-1, my man. Try it, and sleep better.

He and I trade nightmares.

It’s good to have company.

You guys are freaks, but I guess that's why I like you ;-)

Make them school teachers. If children are going to be taught Marxist doctrine, why use a human. A robot can parrot doctrine just as well, and the ROI is better for the school district.

That is one disturbing little scenario, there.

People are already getting their chow from machines taking orders at fast food joints.

They are projecting to create an intelligent woman? Now there’s an oxymoron if I ever heard one.

Boy am I in trouble now!

As long as they program out PMS I could live with it. Especially if they program in cleaning, cooking, gathering the eggs and mowing the yard. Maybe add cleaning fish too.

Newer US made ones come with interchangeable body parts (all of them), are heated, and they are ‘liquid’ proof ...

In fact, they’ll become so technologically perfect, that many people won’t even know they’re not human.
