    Why inventors like to give eyes to robots... robots don't need eyes.

    @Ogami: also giving them human legs and trying to replicate our feet is just stupid. We are a poorly designed species, with many faults, why duplicate some of the obvious ones?

    @Conrad: For fast efficient movement human legs definitely have their faults. However if you haven't noticed they grant us unparallled mobility in comparison to wheels.

    That's totally Toejam!

    I spent countless hours playing that game with my friends when I was younger. We would always go to the secret level 0 and hang out with the naked girls in the hot tub...It didn't even show anything but man, that was pretty intense when we were like 8 years old.

    This thing would be much better for a small parrot or parakeet. It even has a perch they could sit on.

    Come to think of it, maybe it I could use it at work to torment neighbors in adjacent cubicles!

    Mark, I've been known to see my cats sleeping on the couch, then log into my MediaPC, and using it's live view, VNC into the laptop on my coffee table, and play soundboards through it just to torment them.

    uhhhhhhh, if the person who designed this ever had a dog, it would include a gripper to hold onto the ball while you said through the speaker "Now drop it. Drop it. Drrrrrrrop it."

    Looks too much like a bone, If I left that thing at home alone with my dog, the second it started moving on it's own my dog would gnaw it's eyeballs clean off.

    @f0rge: They call that "the other cat". Also, I'm pretty sure my 200 pound great dane would eat this. That's all I need. White speckled dog poop to clean up.

    I have a crash sensor in my head as well. If you see gray, then there's been a crash.
