Who Is More Cute?

Puppies! VS Kittens!

Dogs win, hands down.

Found the greatest book at a garage sale today.

How could I resist? I love this guy, he looks like a microphone gone evil. Just speak into his forehead, just make sure that you can see his red eyes, because if they are not glowing, you need to turn him on. I'd guess that his left ear is the on-off/volume nob, and the right is for base/treble. His mouth is for the mini-disk in case you want to record.

But it gets better. Inside you find a summation of Isaac Asimov's laws of robots, a brief mention of the Six Million Dollar Man and a picture of a VW Beetle factory with its human work force that, unlike robots, complain about things like "heat, smoke, glare and noise." Silly humans.

Granada guides does not stop with robots. No sir, anything they can think of it, it seems, has a book. Just look at the back:

Ballet? Mushrooms? Seashore? Well, maybe those where the last ones that they came up with. Maybe that's why we don't see these books anymore.
