Robot Sex and the Ontological Proof

The Sunday Times web site being down, I cannot link to my fascinating article on robot sex - ah now I can. But here is a picture of the choir stalls at Salle, one of the great churches of England and, therefore, the world. Executed about 500 years before we were born, it shows me (left) and Nige (right) discussing the ontological proof.

    Ah yes, I remember it well - do they not still speak of it in Salle? My nose seems to have been much whittled away over the centuries...

    'Stone me, Nige, you are a rotten driver; this bloody whiplash collar's throttling me'

    A new TV comedy double-act: Canon and Ball.

    All they need to do now is re-paint the interior back to its pre-Reformation finery. Merry England as was.

    It'd be interesting to see at what point a market develops for dolls who scream and show signs of distress. Fairly quickly, i imagine, if porn is anything to go by.

    I don't think such a doll would be popular with married men, Elberry.

    The market for this latest get-rich quick scheme of mine would be bachelors and potential serial killers, men interested in trying a taste of married life/murder.

    Ah, I see. So they might be used as a form of aversion therapy, lowering the rate of homicide and marriage at the same time. Cunning.
