    Everytime anyone goes to a computer to cast their vote for him, it immediately locks up, sends out a beep code that roughly translated says "Why Me?" and... and... well, I don't know what and... wait a minute, does not turn on ever again. That got rather costly, one would think.

    Also, why was there not a winner from the field of political robots? When is A.I. Gore going to get his due, and be inducted into the robot hall of fame? Is there some sort of prejudice against robots constructed of wood, or is A.I. destined to always be a loser?
