Nice and literal there, my friend. For you:


Man-bear, words are such fun.

I was hoping for something... more....

Come now, doing more would be too obvious. Such a limit pm words immediately beseeches someone to try and go over the top and be profound. Frankly, that's obvious and impossible. Maybe you'll make something fun, maybe. So, screw with it all and go for the letter of the law. That's my life, in just six words. It is the total of my life, the full story, in the generalized grand view.

I standby my original idea. In truth, those six simple stages say a lot. I just think we're being a little narrow with the idea of looking for something "big and lofty". However, Lincoln brings up a good point and has given me another great idea. So, tonight this will be changed to what it probably should have been in the first place, if I hadn't been so pleased with my original idea.

Ain't nuthin that says you can't keep updating this whenever you feel like it.

If you feel like it.

So close...

1 point for conciseness, -1 for what I think is a frivolous use of semi-colons, so no vote. Sorry.
I wish that they had been commas, or that I was less of a jerk, but that's our friggin' timeline for you.

Perhaps they are spastic colons?

Oh noes! Punctuation Police!

"I don't make the rules. I just enforce them. Period."

Vote for a straightforward answer! Just goes to show how everyone's life story is the same. Unless you're a robot.

I would think that robot's have life stories that are even more the same. Am I wrong?

player= _gregface_ IS NOT ENTIRELY INCORRECT.

MKII ROBOT WENT FROM CONCEPTION TO EXISTENCE.

Did other robots not go from conception to existence?


Perhaps my human brain can not handle the supreme logic behind your argument. Forgive me if such is the case.

When a robot is created it is programed with pretty much all it would need to know, so it doesn't really go through life stages, as... um... A robot just pointed out.

I don't mean to seem like I'm arguing with mkII robot - especially since it allowed that I am not entirely incorrect - I'm just trying to understand.

And Tricia, you are not entirely correct. Many robots (in fact, many of the most complex robots) are programmed to learn. Learning allows them to sort of "program themselves", making the programmers work... more interesting.

Think of the "War Games" WOPR computer, only without the nuclear arsenal.

250px-WOPR.jpgEver notice "arsenal" contains the word "arse" ? In fact, it is like the word "arse" and "anal" combined... rather redundant... especially when you consider the ass in charge of ours

I was being sarcastic in an obscure way, by talking about robots of the future.
I stupidly forgot about the robots of TODAY, who are programmed to learn.
:D

Arsenal: Words are so fun. I love words. And I guess I shouldn't have assumed that about robots. As my dad joked: Assuming makes an Ass out of U and Mi.

JTony, you are so anal. Why must you be such an ass? That's it, I'm going to probe you until I get an answer, or so help you, I'll send you to the rectory.

What? It's 1:20 in the morning.

Ah, I'm just a bum. Butt you don't have to be so cheeky. I mean I didn't destroy anyone. I just Wrecked 'em. I guess I'll just prostate myself before you, clearly defeated.

What, what?
