While Jabbo the Robot may be useful, I think his usefulness might be limited by the length of the extension cord it needs to go mail that letter, especially if it has to cross a street in the process…

The factory I work at still has a rail spur that is rarely used. I’ve been thinking about trying to build a road convertible version of one of those bikes to get to work in the morning. I could ride the 5 miles in without going up and down the miserable Appalachian hills.

I hear the train a’comin’
It’s comin’ ’round the bend.
But my bike’s stuck on the rails
So I guess this is the end.

Re: Resucitator: That parakeet looks VERY annoyed… I would not want to have my fingers anywhere near him when he gets his beak free.

You want adventure and thrills – try and give a parakeet medicine… Been there, done that, got bitten for my troubles.
