"RoboFriend, breakfast!"
"What's_for_breakfast?"
"Bacon!"
"Bacon_._._."
"No robofriend, that's my arm, not bacon!"
"BACON!"
"AUUUGH!"
The machines then develop a false world where humans can live in until they are devoured for their baconish flavor. However, The One has found the light and must stop the machines from baconizing the human race!

And lends credence to the idea that "long pork" references cannibalism at sea. Which I guess would technically be salt pork!
They turned PaPeRo into a humanovore!  |

Why do you think we test skin products on pigs?
It would have been creepier if it identified us as humans, for obvious reasons. |

Imagine the pick up lines this man can now make
It's mind-boggling
Italian food!
what would you like for starters!
salty!
Just imagine all the possibilities!
The word prosciutto derives from the Latin perexsuctum which means “thoroughly dried" (lit., "(having been) very sucked out").
The process of making prosciutto can take anywhere from nine to eighteen months, depending on the size of the ham. |

June 10, 2005—Quick, which one is the robot?
Repliee Q1 (at left in both pictures) appeared yesterday at the 2005 World Expo in Japan, where she gestured, blinked, spoke, and even appeared to breathe. Shown with co-creator Hiroshi Ishiguru of Osaka University, the android is partially covered in skinlike silicone. Q1 is powered by a nearby air compressor, and has 31 points of articulation in its upper body.
Internal sensors allow the android to react "naturally." It can block an attempted slap, for example. But it's the little, "unconscious" movements that give the robot its eerie verisimilitude: the slight flutter of the eyelids, the subtle rising and falling of the chest, the constant, nearly imperceptible shifting so familiar to humans.
Surrounded by machines that draw portraits, swat fast-moving balls, and snake through debris, Q1 is only one of the showstoppers at the expo's Prototype Robot Exposition, which aims to showcase Japan's growing role in the robotics industry.
But given Q1's reported glitch-related "spasms" at the expo, it may be a while before androids are escorting tour groups or looking after children—which may be just as well. "When a robot looks too much like the real thing, it's creepy," Hiroshi told the Associated Press.

Meat is murder.
Tasty, tasty murder.
