    Something wonderful has happened... Number Five is alive!

    Here's how it goes:
    • Feisty girl investigates a noise.
    • She mistakes the robot for an alien.
    • It learns what it is to be alive.
    • Evil military want it destroyed.
    • Nice guy is a nerd (but nice).
    • However we know "it just runs programs" (yah right)
    • Will she grow to love Dick?
    • Will the robot escape?
    • Can they recover it before it blows something up?

    I always find it helps to sit down and try to think of where you had him last. Works with car keys anyway...

    Man, if my last name was Dick, I'd have to name my son Hugh G.

    Seriously thouhg, how the hell do you lose a robot? That's like losing your car.

    Probably had too many in-flight drinks, got abusive and was kicked off the plane at the next stop over.

    Hey, it was designed to realistically mimic human behaviour... :worried:
