    Taxable robot hookers could solve so many world issues - government funding, human trafficking, reducing overpopulation, China's m/f ratio problem, pent up sexual frustration leading to religious extremism, etc etc

    Hint, all of that surface is not metal. There are spots that 'give in' when pushed.

    What, haven't you ever had a lamp or device with a 'hidden' socket for recharge cable?

    Though if you so desire, I'm sure that any hatches will open up with appropriate voice or gesture command. I don't know about you but some people would feel awkward if the wrong hatches just suddenly opened up when you had guests.

    Was there a joke somewhere?

    Can you take a screencap and mark the joke with red.

    Also, can you answer this question about human behavior: why are jokes important? Do they have to be fun?

    Sometimes a joke can get better when it's extended indefinitely, for example a joke that wasn't really funny to begin with can become fun on a different level when it's dragged forward - in the case that the people trying to make it more fun reach levels of being pathetic that are fun.

    Also, there are merits to scientific and analytic approach to comedy and humor. For instance:

    Knock knock
    -Who's there
    [here comes the punchline]
    No one [<- See? if it were no one, then who is answering? It's a paradox and paradoxes are fun!]

    Humor comes from pain. We laugh as a way of either coping with our own pain or blocking the pain of others. We see someone fall down the stairs in a movie, and we KNOW it hurt, and they might be injured, but we laugh and say "he's so clumsy", and it turns into a funny story. Every funny joke you've ever heard is at something's expense if you look at it enough.

    Also, humiliation.

    "And.. he couldn't get it up!"
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


    By the way, anyone who's ever wanted a wife that cleans, does laundry, makes food and brings you beer without any attitude while you're watching/playing a game - needs a robot. I think the 50's western 'perfect wife' was a robot.

    Anyone who's ever wanted a husband that remembers all important dates, doesn't argue back, brings flower on regular intervals and will not complain about working on a steady paying yet grinding work nor doesn't care about letting her decide about the actual spending of that money - needs a robot.

    And those couples that just want more quality time to spend together - they need two robots.

    And children that want 'adult' company and a chauffeur to take them to places and movies - need a robot, as do parents who are too tired to keep their children occupied.

    So, everyone needs robots!

    So you're a man if you have the wrong jaw line? Nah, men and women come in all shapes and sizes and appearances actually overlap quite a bit.

    Can you honestly tell the genders of the following:
