Proof once and for all that we are all in fact androids . . . . . LET THERE BE LIGHT.


This morning when I got up I took my watch off and I noticed strange mechanical marks on my wrist under where the watch had been. I have not noticed them before, I assume because they had been hidden by the watch. I then wondered if watches were something we had to wear to hide the marks that would prove once and for all that we are all in fact androids. I therefore decided the best thing to do is ask someone who is not a human as other humans would also be androids, so I asked the dog, he sniffed my wrist and chewed it a bit and then said yes definitely an android and not even one of the latest models…… Damn; so I am an android. On the School bus I told the other pupils that I was an android and took my watch off to show them, then they took their watches off and they found mechanical marks under their watches too. So they were all androids as well. Well Freddie appeared not to be an android but he does not wear a watch, so we all decided that people with watches on must be androids and those with no watches are not, although interestingly enough they also can not tell the time very well.





In school luckily enough we had metal work all day and so we asked the metalwork teacher about all of us (not Freddie) being androids and he suggested that it might be good to build an android based on one of us to get an idea of what we looked like under our human disguise. I did say we could just cut the outer bit off, but he thought we might accidently cut though some cables just under the surface of our skin; that was good thinking but then he is a metalwork teacher and wears a large watch. So I then became the person the android was based on because I was first to notice I was an android. The school android however became more robot due to time restrictions and in order to make it do stuff we have to fall back on the principles of Clockwork Automated Logic.

Because the robot was based on me it was a friendly looking robot, I am you see very friendly, but the teacher insisted that we program in what he called Variable Random Stupidity, he refused to explain what that was, but I am not sure I agree with that.  Still by the end of the day it was finished and we wound it up to see what would happen. As it started to move . . .. . . Esmeralda who is mainly electro-mechanical anyway these days (after being eaten by the goat) said LET THERE BE LIGHT so The Clockwork Mechanical Rob Robot marched outside and brought back a lamp post from the street. Well that was a bit silly, but the metalwork teacher said it was the built in Variable Random Stupidity and just the sort of thing I would do……. THAT’S NOT FAIR.

Oooooooo by the way we finally got our big box of snowflakes ready for winter, one good thing about them is they are all different and specially made by an expert snowflake maker. . . . . . . . . WELL COOL (cool ….. HAH HAHAHA HAHH HAH AH HAHHAH HAH AHHAH ah hah hah ah hah ah ha )

  1. I don't wear a watch, I guess that means I'm not an android. I gotta say, I'm kind of disappointed...maybe if I buy a watch, I'll turn into one?

  2. I recently started wearing my favorite old Seiko watch, model SBB144, even though it doesn't work because it needs a new battery. I have been totaLLy unsucessful in obtaining an eXact duplicate watch, scouring the Internet in ain. Sadly.

    Since and is a logic gate, perhaps that is why they are caLLed androids. Other logic gates are OR, NAND, NOR, XOR, XNOR, and NOT. So I wonder if it would be better to be a orroid, nandroid, norroid, xorroid, xnorroid, or notroid. I am not sure if I missed any others.

    1. Sorry, that was "scouring the Internet in vain".

    2. I rather like all the names orroid, nandroid, norroid, xorroid, xnorroid, or notroid. they sound like entire developed sub-species of androids. I think if I was considering writing a block buster movie about androids and robots this would be a good starting point. Each sub-species could have the personality of its logic gate equivalent.

      Well done Mr ESB. Hope all is Well

    3. Ah, I see your characterization creation theme, nice. Think of their arguments.

      Most aLL is weLL. A bit of difficulty breathing, perhaps allergies. The weather has been nice. Had a bit of a strange difficulty instaLLing a security system. The culprit appeared to be a bug in some firmware of a router. I discovered that when setting a range for a DHCP server, it didn't work to have the static address range be on the lower end of the section. It is the day before Thanksgiving here so I wiLL be eXtremely busy cooking today, so that should make Cooper glad that I wiLL be home aLL day. But I think the diner is closed for several days in a row so I need to go by to visit and eat there today as weLL. Ha, the Wifey is losing it, should just asked Cooper if he made her coffee as she was getting out of bed.

    4. Typo: towards the end it should say, "Ha, the Wifey is losing it, she just asked Cooper if he made her coffee as she was getting out of bed"

      The siLLy editor on the iPad doesn't aLLow proper navigation within text message entry boxes in order to correct typos once the message length is greater than a certain size. But not aLL blogspot blogs are created equaLLy, only certain blogs act that way. Even going through the Preview & Edit cycle doesn't aways work.

    5. We dont have a Thanksgiving over here, but we all talk to animals here too, although sadly they will not make coffee, tea or anything. As for the typos I cant edit them in the comments bit of the blog so I am cool with errors after all I make loads of them even when I draw pictures.

  3. Why are watches called watches? You don't watch them. You look at them, or glance. They should be called glances.
