My old dog passed the mirror test with ease. He also used to play practical jokes and would steal toys from the other dog and hide them then sit and watch the confusion. He also watched TV (Animal shows were his favourite but he also had an odd fascination for the Simpsons, always got very excited for Santas Little…

Isn't this the EXACT premise the new Battlestar Galactica followed? Failed robot revolution, robots leave, electronics among humans are abandoned/made primitive, and the robots raise their own 'agents' to infiltrate humanity...?

S'cool, the UK is picking up the slack. A few more years, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylon_%2… <- We'll be able to go from ground to orbit in one go.

Philip K Dick wrote about what happens when Robots supply all we need.

Essentially yes. IIRC it wasn't modified much, aside from strap-on wings, hence is crashing and killing the pilot.

"it seems painful. " <- thats probably the point. Some folks like the pain. And they're not THAT sensitive really. Some guys just overreact to the slightest touch to them. A friend of mine doesn't even like letting his GF touch his, while I quite like a little squeeze.

I'm somewhat addicted to swapping ROMs on my Galaxy Sii, but have noticed a few things along the way.

Did I spot a Cylon in there? Edit: No, i didn't. Vaguely cylonesque humanoid bot cut to a KITT sweep which confused me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolo_%28tank%29 <- Bolos. Giant robotic tanks that not only defend humanity against bad guys, but are a futuristic epitome of King Arthur's knights. Brave, loyal, honorable. Bolos can be killed or destroyed, but never beaten.

GLaDoS? Srsly? I mean, 10/10 for epic computer voice, but OMFG lets hope they switched out the pleasure response from 'experiment' to 'exterminate alien monsters'.

OH MY GOD YES THIS!

I thought it might be a later revision or refit of the NX-01 'class' ie: same 'hullshape' but updated warp technology (hence the odd shaped nacelles) etc.

Starfleet home fleet ship maybe? Wasn't one of the earlier spoilers about how Starfleet is being blown away and all that's left is the Enterprise and Kirk to save the day? Could this be part of the 'blowing away' of the Sol defense fleet then? (Since presumably Starfleet isn't daft enough to send ALL their ships out…

It looks remarkably like the NX-01, perhaps a later construction NCC varient of the old NX Enterprise design? Archer is/was still alive in the 2009 movie, and the 1701-a was a sixty year old design by the time they tried to properly decommission her so it's possible, or even probable, that the NX design was still in…

Heh, I recognize each of the episodes in those limericks and I lol'd.

Spike and Drusilla, and Eric Northman from TueBlood, the perfect trilogy of sexy vampiric badasses.

Or, yannow, just apply the effect in post, or in fact, apply it from inside the camera (d7000 has it, but I'm certain only ironically) touch up menu although gods know why I would want to, since the effect looks like shite unless it's of a steam railway, in which case, it looks cool as fuck because its a real model…

Oh my god monkeyballs... Flight of the Navigator... Formative on me. I still, when I want to pretend spaceship, make the ship with my cand held flat, fingers together, then morph it by lifting the knuckles, and going to super speed then back down. Swoosh. Much swooshing going on now.

I've seen worse in dreams. And on the internet quite frankly. Google around for 'vore' sometime and you can find all the themes from I Have No Mouth, and far far worse.

Divide by zero error, please reinsert creation and reboot universe.
