And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

but end up as a black mark on your history as you are considered at risk for theft.

That's insane, but sadly unsurprising. I hope AAA can help.

Ann, that's a ferret.

reporting to insurance will not only not get you anything, but end up as a black mark on your history as you are considered at risk for theft

OK. I'll withdraw that part of my advice.

Self-aware robot:

A new robot can recognize the difference between a mirror image of itself and another robot that looks just like it.

This so-called mirror image cognition is based on artificial nerve cell groups built into the robot's computer brain that give it the ability to recognize itself and acknowledge others.

The ground-breaking technology could eventually lead to robots able to express emotions.

Under development by Junichi Takeno and a team of researchers at Meiji University in Japan, the robot represents a big step toward developing self-aware robots and in understanding and modeling human self-consciousness.

I'm so sorry, Frank! As a recent member of the "oops, I left the car right there" club, you have my sincerest sympathies.

I still have not left for PA. Eventually, right?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Frank, I'm so sorry. Tha'ts no good. Fie upon thieves, I say. Fie!!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That sucks, Frank.

I am so very bored. Someone entertain me before I decide to amuse myself by poking a troll with a stick.

You could join me in a secret conspiracy to get a troll's WX account revoked. I just had my fill with the insult to TonjaJ and sent off a Terms of Service complaint to the sysop with the personal attacks in the Brokeback Mountain thread held up as examples.

I might join you, Matt--that troll is starting to take over the entire Ovies thread, and it's getting really annoying.
