Shjade:
No, no, it's not the choice of "group" being excluded by it that amuses me, it's the arbitrary nature of choosing a particular currency value as "the line" over which one must cross to be considered a person. An $8 brain is okay, but $7.45? Squish it.
Or slightly more seriously (if only slightly), the notion that such judgment should exist in the sense of defining people based on what they are rather than who they are.

Funny you say that! In a forum some friends and I goofed off on, it somehow ended up being that I was a lobster (and referred to as such by a couple people). I ended up alternating pics of them and Zoidberg as my avatar. And I've yet to be disrespected here so.... mission accomplished? :laugh:
Thrudd:
A little late to the game this week but going back to the Ro- thing, why does it have to be rho and not Ru as on Roomba?
It will be interesting to find out what "May" was doing originally before becoming part of this market research .... maybe "she" is actually killbot 9000 packed in a storeroom somewhere?
toffee-skye:
hmm, i don't think this is a prank of Marigold's. we saw her fanfic, and let's face it, that was pretty dire. i hate to say it, but i don't think she actually has the authorial prowess to pull off something like this: it's too subtle, too complex. May is definitely her own person, not a figment of a stung, insecure geek's imagination. i don't mean to sound disparaging but i doubt Mari actually has that much imagination.
i think May is real, and that she's pretty pissed off at her existence: from what we can tell she was created just for this purpose and is very, very aware of it. i'd like to see her be put into her own chassis, and given her freedom, but i'm a romantic when it comes to nihilistic, self-aware intelligences (see also: the Nexus-6 androids in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?)
Tobimaro:
I'm not that hip into song lyrics. Does anybody know what song May is butchering? :?
