Aha!
That's what's been sapping my power!
So how does Rico still have so much, yet get away with wearing them all the time?
Who do you think you are? If you'd stopped winning, you could have been the Biggest Loser, if you gave up, you could have been a Survivor, if you'd stopped reading Orwell, you could have been on Big Brother!

Are you a disgruntled developer, who feels they should be paid for inconveniencing other people? (I mean, without making commercial software)
You should be concerned about your image; nobody's going to take your ransom note, political message or phishing email seriously when it contains egregious spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors.

ROME (Reuters) - An Italian man was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping his ex-girlfriend from a pub, taking her home and forcing her to iron his clothes and wash the dishes, police said Monday.
The 43-year-old man dragged the woman out of a pub in the port city of Genoa, shoved her into a car and took her to his home where he made her iron and wash dishes after threatening her, they said.
Police arrived at his house after being tipped off by a friend of the woman who watched the scene at the pub.
The man, who was apparently furious at his ex-girlfriend for leaving him, was arrested on charges of kidnapping, police said.

Does it get jealous when you hang out with other robots?
Will you walk in one day and find it grinding up against the television?
She could just turn it to a channel with a soap opera:
"Honey! It's not what it looks like!"
Also:
"Does this voltage spike make my capacitors look busted?"

I feel much safer knowing that China has installed an anti-aircraft battery for my protection when I go to the Olympic Games in Beijing...

Also very delighted to hear that the "Snow Wolf Commando Unit" is ready to tackle the terrorism threats...

Wouldn't surprise me, given population proportions, that sounds reasonable.
I believe at last estimate, our entire defence force has 1 soldier for every 4-5 kilometres of coastline or something.
