My most interesting pics

A bit Arthur Dent, a lot Marvin, although some Ford Prefect seems to be coming through as well. My ultimate aim in life is to be as cool as Zaphod Beeblebrox, but the second head might be problematic.

"Thank you marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetica Corporation, 'Let's build robots with Genuine People Personalities' they said. So they tried it out with me. I'm a personality prototype. You can tell can't you?"

"You think you've got problems, what are you supposed to do if you're a manically depressed robot? No, don't bother to answer that, I'm fifty thousand times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the answer. It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level."

"Sorry, did I say something wrong? Pardon me for breathing, which I never do anyway so I don't know why I bother to say it, oh God I'm so depressed."
