lucabrasi999 writes "The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ran a story today on the 2004 inductees to the Robot Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame is affiliated with Carnegie Mellon University. The highlight of the ceremony was apparently a handshake between Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) and ASIMO (Honda). Well, at least Robby the Robot finally made it in. Now I can sleep easy at night."

    If that was the highlight how many people bludgeoned themselves to death to escape the boredom? Jeez I bet even a few of the robots self terminated if that was as good as it got.

    I would have picked R2 over 3PO. I mean, he is the man in the relationship.
