Proof #4,971 that scientists don't read enough science fiction

That is so cute. Look at the robot learning to pair up socks. My, wouldn't that be neat, Martha? Then you wouldn't have to spend all your time pairing up socks. Let's get one. No, don't worry. All it knows is how to pair up socks. It's not going to make any kind of mental leap that will lead to it pairing up, say, our severed heads or my arms after they've been ripped out of their sockets. Seriously, you're such an alarmist. (Via Videogum).
