Where Would The Thing Keep Its Car Keys?

Ah… The Pretty Good Lake District.

I'm pretty sure most of the outside scenes in the Matrix were shot in Sydney.

Mrs. Asimov: How pleasant it would be if only we lived a hundred years ago when it was easy to get servants.
Isaac Asimov: It would be horrible… We'd be the servants.

This is outback Australia. That society's been running since the 1940s.

You're doing what to a labrador now?

Where do we sit with "Ladies"?

Tell me about it. I must have re-read them hundreds of times.

I have some ideas.

What's the point of heaven without dogs?

Artisanal.

Their asses were quite big, it's true. But in proportion, I feel.

No, I think you'll find that the dummy is the clown's actual hand.

There's the rub. Do you develop an algorithm that lets one car drive in traffic well but autonomously, or remove some individual (computer) control and let a central computer drive your cars around in an optimal way. All cars being autonomous may lead to some unexpected emergent behaviour.

I biannually drive my family from one major city to another to visit relatives, and I am the only driver in the family for an 8 hour drive. I long for the day I can spend that time in the back seat.

Time to write that screenplay about a clown whose act includes a ventriloquist dummy.

I was just wondering today how long clowns will finally fall from any sort of currency and become part of a bygone age that people will see an image of and have to google to understand their purpose.
