    I am really sorry to bring this up, but this technology can probably be paired up with something like this for the most realistic (or, possibly good beyond realism) blowjob in the history of mankind...

  6. Slashdot the robot? by michiel.h · · Score: 1, Funny

    I think someone slashdotted the scratch robot, 'cos he aint doin nothin.

    Now, slashdotting the scratch robot isn't a big deal, it isn't alive, but what about the skin-robot one? Their inventors claim it's alive. Would we be killing it?

    Are we murderers?

    With our current level of technology robots are incapable of existing in the art world. They may be able to create a useless, uninspired, simple meaningless object, scribble, or splatter, but they are incapable of the the silver tongued chaos, fraud, and illogic involved in passing off such pieces as anything other than what they are: sheer garbage.

    Longest. Sentence. Ever.

    many with talents that are a bit harder to pin down.

    You mean like alcoholic, kleptomaniac, robots that are benders of steel?

    I know what you mean. How do you classify such a talent?
