Lots of Monkeys

Okay, with all of this I, Robot business up in the air, I want to clear up one thing:

“Cyborgs” are not “robots.”

One quick hop to dictionary.com and you get these two definitions.

A cyborg is defined as “A human who has certain physiological processes aided or controlled by mechanical or electronic devices.”

Thus, a person with a prosthesis, or a person who uses a wheelchair, is a cyborg. They are human beings that use mechanical devices in lieu of their missing or non functioning limbs.

A robot is defined as “A mechanical device that sometimes resembles a human and is capable of performing a variety of often complex human tasks on command or by being programmed in advance.”

Thus, roomba is a robot, albeit not one that resembles a human. The animatronic “actors” in many of Disney’s theme park attractions are robots.

Interns. . . eh.

I’ve read a review of this movie that used the terms interchangeably, when clearly, clearly, they are robots. Not human bodies encased in steel.

Robots. From the Czech “robota,” which means slave labor. Mechanical devices with no humans in them.

Okay, I’m done.

In this day and age of modern technology, it’s nice to see that someone’s finally figured out a solution to the whole, “Segway in the rain problem.”

I’d subscribe the the “reality channel” but I already leave my house several times a week to star in my own reality tv series.

What is so amazing about reality tv? Don’t people have enough drama in their lives as it is? I think I just filmed a show during my vacation in Niagara Falls at the wedding I attended.

If it were a show, I’d think that the producers set out to create the most chaotic, disaster prone almost non wedding, in order to create tension and drama to drive up ratings.

Yes, it was that good.

So. Kill Bill with Harry Potter characters. How about that?

I can say that I’ve been to Niagara Falls now, although I hesitate to say that I’ve been to Canada per se. Niagara Falls has given me the touristy, kitschy, Americany, flavor of Canada. It’s sort of like Canada Lite. Half the calories of regular Canada, while still being able to say that you left the country.

The falls themselves are very pretty, and awe inspiring. I thought I knew what the phrase “a lot of water” meant. I once threw a whole bucket of water at a person. They got pretty wet. Y’know, it was a whole bucket! It’s a lot of water!

I was mistaken.

Standing 12 feet away from the edge of the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side, I learned what “a lot of water” means. Very beautiful. Very awe inspiring. Very difficult to put into words, so I’ll post up a small movie at some point.

I’d like to visit Toronto or Montreal to see the “real” Canada. I’m interested in visiting a bilingual province, where they start speaking to you in French, and English is the “other” language.

Crazy!
