Fact 1: Squids have no joints and are therefore cuddly.
Fact 2: Joints, being pokey, are the least cuddly part of the robot.
Fact 3: Scientists are trying to build a robo-squid in a field called "Soft Robotics", thereby facilitating better human-robot cuddling.

Pretty sure I've seen Japanese manga with very similar plots. They usually do not end well for all concerned parties.Varda wrote:Scientists are trying to build a robo-squid in a field called "Soft Robotics", thereby facilitating better human-robot cuddling.

Also, about your new sig... Don't forget that one "awe shit" wipes out 10 "atta boy"s (and saying that "atta boy" is not gender appropriate, earns at least one demerit). The ratio increases with how much your livelihood is on the line, too (Unless you're a "guv-mint" worker).

Also, that anime chick looks like she's having a great time with robo-squid. All looks perfectly consensual to me!
