Robot Hall of Fame

Smaz writes "Apparently Carnegie Mellon has set up a Hall of Fame for robots and their inventors. Wonder if it'll have the pull of a RnR Hall of Fame or Baseball Hall of Fame? I'd visit." Any nominees?

    Someday I'm going to create a hall of fame for distigishable performances of The Robot in break dance.

    Al Gore. He's so lifelike he's fooled millions of people. Think about it: He took the initiative in creating the Internet, ran for president, even joined the Apple board. Not only that, he reproduced, bearing 2 lovely children with a known censorship advocate. Take that humans!

      I would *so* pay for them to hoist a huge sign on the front of the hall of fame ...

      Bite my shiny metal ass.

      Well, actually, no I wouldn't pay. I'd laugh and walk by outside, though. Then I'd start my own hall of fame.

    What's even funnier is that this "Turk" beat such famous people as Ben Franklin and Napolean Bonnapart. Well, the match with Napolean was officialy a draw becuase he wiped all the pieces from the board when he saw that he was loosing too badly to recover.

    you'll know that robots have come of age when self nominations become banned.

    This time, I'd vote for Al Gore and actually feel good about it.
