To: Come get it

Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.
Chief commandment resulting from the Butlerian Jihad, found in the Orange Catholic Bible


--"Why do you test for humans?" he asked.
--"To set you free."
--"Free?"
--"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."
--"Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a man's mind," Paul quoted.

In 1896 the name of the community was changed to "Roscoe. " (Presumably Roscoe Blvd. got its name because it went to Roscoe.) There is speculation that the name for the community came from a railroad employee by the name of Roscoe, who was killed in a train wreck during a train robbery near Sunland Blvd. and San Fernando Road. It has also been suggested that the name was for the famous actor, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, after he had made movies on location in the area.
