@bigbangburgerb4 We suspect Mr Greening, who drew these cartoons, would have agreed that mechanical people were a bad idea. Percy got into one horrible situation after another and was NOT an asset to society. He was sort of proto-Sirius Cybernetics, and you know how we feel about them.

@h2g2_Guide Sorry but the only acceptable "Ai" in America allowed is "Art Institute". Anything else is just Walt Disney pissed he cant own YOUR intellectual property with zero compensation except higher energy costs and taxes 😉 You're welcome for the inconvenience of how reality works

Moaning and groaning about AI has a history. An early fictional robot was Percy, the Mechanical Man. 'Brains he has nix,' according to his German American inventor. Only in the h2g2 Post. h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/brune…

Some of the things may seem farfetched, but we assure you they're real. Cleethorpes, Norwich, Chester, and a dark road near Vienna. Plus fiction by DG, FWR, Philip K Dick, Ellison, and others you may know. h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/brune…

I got this tool set & all I could think of was that quote from Goethe: 'Amboß oder Hammer sein.' You can take the head out of the book, but can't you can't take the book out of the head. PS The company (Asian) is called Anvil. h2g2 Post at h2g2.com/entry/thepost

@chrisjudetaylor Good job! The Post Editor used to assign a class the passage from The Hitchhiker's Guide that dealt with time-travel tenses, to be translated into German. On 1 April.

Few things more fun for me as a teacher than asking students to cold read the opening of Tristram Shandy, have them try to describe what’s going on, and see their reactions when you relate what is actually going on. Immediate weirdening of their sense of historical time

In between the snowstorms, meteors, and general bad weather, we managed to find some flowers and birds to take pictures of. Also a hammer. Humour, commentary, and wildly imaginative fiction shows what deep thinkers we all are, also jokes. Read us, please. h2g2.com/entry/A88081851
