She love you long time. Or at least as long as the batteries hold out.

Just a matter of time now, someone will invent a virus for her, and pass the malware on to humans!

I’ve heard that Japanese men are, ahem, small... but this is ridiculous!

My wife saw Honda’s “ASIMO” robot at Disneyland last week. She thought he was pretty cool and of potentially greater use for picking up around the house than said husband.

Defensively I retorted that I could probably outrun him and kick a soccer ball farther. But I granted that ASIMO appeared more compact than a Honda Civic.

If they made male battery-operated companionship toys in the same proportions they do for women, this robot girlfriend would be 12 feet tall with a 60 inch chest.

Does she complain if you leave the toilet seat up?

If not, then she isn’t realistic enough yet.

Miss Thomas is petite.

Where I did err was in the description as “very friendly”.

For Miss Thomas, it would have to say “very friendly to leftists, evil dictators and anti-American policies”.

There! That’s better!

I cannot wait to see who the last Cylon is....

From the available clues, it is probably Felix Gaeta:

And the Fifth, still in shadow, will claw toward the light, hungering for redemption that will only come in the howl of terrible suffering.
