There are times I wish I were six again...

Oh yeah, this is definitely going to be one of first projects Ben's brothers in Fenspace undertake once they start living on 36 Atalante.
ETA: Gina: "Well, we won't need tractors for the hangar bays anymore." Ben: "Why's that?" *The two are interrupted by a smallish, adorable looking triceratops hauling a Fezig behind it. Ben: "Ah. I see. My brothers work?" Gina: "Who else?"
lol, if my mom had gotten me one of those things when I was 6 years old, I woulda had nightmares for a month. As it is, even at 24, I saw one in the store the
other day that was moving and I gave it a wide berth. I've always had a sorta-phobia about robots and animatronics like that. Just give me a 10 dollar stuffed dinosaur, and I'd be happier with it than I would be with the 300 dollar taking and moving dino.
It's the uncanny valley principle. For example, I've seen both this and a similarly-successful robotic horse and the Horse creeped me out more, since
my mother used to raise Morgans and I know what a horse is supposed to look like. ''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.'' -- James Nicoll |
