Consumer report

it'll do that and more. But more than anything else, it will appear to love us.
People will pay anything for love.

Especially when the investment is just purchase and occasional upkeep.

Jim, are you picturing a day when intraspecies sex becomes passe (and maybe even hippie-primitive) for humans, and reproduction is carried on by samples ordered through Amazon? (That will make for a tricky return policy, eh what?)

My goodness. Aging playboys, who formerly doted on new cars, will now brag about their latest girlfriend's upgraded sensitivity simulation software.

And stylish moms will not have au pairs, they'll have ePairs...(note too, you'll no longer have to go out for karate or Chinese lessons: Just make sure you order an ePair to meet your needs.)

i disagree, no one has ever bought me a set of pipes

[jim stone]

OK, they'll do NEARLY anything for love.
(Of course, as I've learned to my sorrow, the
packaging of the product matters considerably.)

Earlier poem of mine.

Her beautiful voice
uniquely saying cloudy
Donna* brings the rain

*Donna is one of the 2 computer generated voices
used since 2002 by the NOAA to replace Paul.
The other Weather Radio automated radio weather
warning system voice is Craig.

I suppose the main consumers will be men, and feminists
( and perhaps women in general) will be horrified.

Teach it to do plumbing, take care of the yard, walk the dog, take the car in for service, etc.....ya might be surprised how many sell.

Oh....it has to be able to cook

Ya just download the route ya want the dog to take into his memory banks and let him take himself for a walk and the car you just tell it to go to the shop by itself and be home by five. I had some 'droids do my plumbing once, it didn't work out so well, the plumbing inspector didn't pass it and I had to pay a fine. If ya ask me one of these would be more fun than a robotic woman. A heck of a lot easier to use when I'm juggling too.

Sorry. I'm not impressed No arm rests.

[dwest]

Sorry. I'm not impressed No arm rests.

Arm rests get in the way of your elbows if your juggling.

But does it play chess?

Pfft. I had that happen at least twice last evening. No batteries involved, either.

I don't know who you're hanging out with, but it ain't MY crowd.

You know, speaking of paying, there's something that hasn't been brought up, to my recollection: a lifelike temperature. How much is it going to cost to keep these lovebots heated so you don't get the idea that you might as well be making out with your silverware drawer?

don't tell me you got a puppy! how's the cat taking it?

[Nanohedron]

No, no, NO. The operative word here is appear. Rhymes with "beer". You get the idea.
