Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Inventor Le Trung spent Christmas Day with the most important woman in his life - his robot Aiko.
The science genius enjoyed a festive dinner with his mum, dad and his £30,000 fembot which he designed and built by hand.
Le, 34, from Brampton, Ontario, Canada, even bought gifts for his dream girl, who is so lifelike she speaks fluent English and Japanese, helped cook the turkey and hang up decorations.
'Aiko is like any woman, she enjoys getting new clothes,' he said.
'I loved buying them for her too.'
Le, who built his first robot when he was four, has dedicated his life to creating the perfect humanoid and his success so far with Aiko has won him worldwide attention.
Aiko, whose name is Japanese for 'love-child' has an amazing artificial intelligence and can speak 13,000 different sentences in two languages
'Aiko can recognise faces and says hello to anyone she has met,' he said.
'She helps me pick what to have for dinner and knows what drinks I like.'
After Christmas dinner and opening her presents, Aiko joined in the festive tradition of quizzes and board games with the family.
But Le still has one thing on his Christmas wish list for Aiko - mastering the problem of how to make her walk.

Better put down that beer, Bender...you’re going to need both hands.
“so lifelike she speaks fluent English and Japanese”
obviously not.
Obviously has a lot of recorded words and sentences that it plays back. It does not speak fluent anything. “It”, not “she.”
Why are some people obsessed with the idea that they can create human life?

I loved “Small Wonder”, used to make sure I was home on Saturday early evenings to catch a new ep in the mid to late ‘80s. I forgot about Wayland Flowers, had to look that one up. I still can’t believe Paul Lynde was replaced on “Hollywood Squares” with his creepy puppet.
Good ole Stella Mudd.
*sigh*
"Mm, Harcourrrrt... Harcourt Fenton Mudd, what have you been up to? Nothing good, I'm sure! Well, let me tell you, you LAZY, GOOD-FOR-NOTHING - !!"
"Shut up."
"...nothing ... thing ... thing ..."
