[challenge entry] Didn't want to waste a thread, so I made this...


...I won't be around this morning, so my suggestion for the challenge is 'The four ages of robots'.

The eagle eyed among you may have noticed that I suggested it last week, and I will keep suggesting it until robots get the recognition they deserve in today's society.

That is all

# Jayzuz! 25 years?
Now I really do feel old. Listened to the tapes last week, and it still sounded as fresh and funny and intelligent as ever. There was a man who knew his physics, and how important it is to have a well developed sense of the ridiculous. Very sad Mr Adams died, especially on reading the unfinished Salmon of Doubt...
