He named his kid “Zeno?”

Gee, how long will it be before this kid gets teased with the taunt “Zeno’s a Zero?”

Better get insurance against robot attacks and quick.

Pinocchio found out he was made of wood when his hand caught fire. :-)

I thought it was when he discovered termites in his shorts......

Are we running out of real people?

In Europe, Russia, and Japan, they are.

In fact, Putin has ordered some workers to stay home and just have babies. Perhaps he can just send those people back to work to produce those "artificial boys" to they can replenish their population.

China could use 200 million artificial girls in order to satisfy the huge population of males having to go without their own partners.

They already have those on the market - the inflatable variety ... ;-)

And THEY don't try to have a conversation with you.

I saw the image of this on Drudge. This doll is not named after Zeno the Stoic: his mouth is puckered up to weep and his eyes are full of tears.

I'm 40 years old. A vet. Seen a lot of things.

That is the ONLY movie I find too horrible and painful to watch a second time.
