Habit
I am five feet, three inches tall and pleasingly plump.
Recently, after I had a minor accident, my mother accompanied me to the emergency room.
The ER nurse asked for my height and weight, and I responded in a serious tone, "Five-foot-eight, 125 pounds."
While the nurse pondered this information, my mother leaned over to me and said, "Sweetheart," she gently chided, "this is not the Internet."
What, exactly, is the Internet? Basically it is a global network exchanging digitized data in such a way that any computer, anywhere, that is equipped with a device called a "modem" can make a noise like a duck choking on a kazoo.
~ Dave Barry
Robot comes from the Czech word 'robota' which means 'forced work or labor'.
