Friends,
Then a man came out and took acard out from the back of the robot's head and replaced it with another. I asked what he was doing and he said, "I'm raising the I.Q. of the robot by 30 points."

Friends,
So now the robot has his I.Q. raised by 30 points so he came to the counter and said,' Would you like a combo today? You get a drink with a small pizza and a feee order of breadsticks."
I said that I wanted to take out a combo. The robot then said,"thin crust or thick?"
I was amazed at that the robot now had indeed a higher level of thinking.
So I asked him the same question, "Did you take a shower this morning?"
The robot said," sir, robots do not take showers. If they did, there would be great damage to the microchips and and the mother-board."
This is amazing, I thought. So I asked the robot how much the take-out was. The robot said that the price is $8.95 amd if you give me a ten-dollor bill, I will give you back $1.05.
This is incredible, I thought. The manager came out and I asked him if he could replace the card in the robot's head with a card of even a greater I.Q.. He went back and came out ewith another card and said that the new card will rais the robot's I.Q. by another 30 points.
hummmmm

Friends,
After the new card was put in that raised the robot's I.Q. by another 30 points, I wanted to see what he would say to the previous question so I orderd a bowl of soup. Then I came up to the counter and said to the robot,"what is this fly doing in my soup?"
The robot said,"Sir, the fly has suffered a sub-dural hemotoma that was caused by tramatic force by a swatter and gravity has allowed it to fall into your soup."
This is amazing, I thought. This robot now has a knowlege of anatomy and physics.

Lou, you should have taken advantage of the robot's intellect. Surely such a machine can replace many skilled professionals?
Dear Mr. Robot, can you tell me what medicine I should take for ______?
Dear Mr. Robot, can you prepare me a special pizza that has a lot of antioxidants?
Dear Mr. Robot, can you suggest a solution to the crisis in the Middle East?
:o)
nice to meet you Lou Pilder

llrrrpp,
You wrote,[...surely replace...]
Well, I did ask the robot your question,[...could you tell me which medicine to take..] and the robot said, "Why, do you want one to be missing?"

Friends,
After his IQ was raised anothe 30 points I innitiated a conversation with him and he talked about quantum physics, nano-technology, relativity, heart transplants, and the history and the arciology of the near-east and mesopotamia and the building of the Great Pyramids and space travle.
This was amazing, so I asked him if he could tell me what road the world should take durring these times and the robot said,'Why is there one missing?"

llrrrpp,
When the robot made his last statement, it was not according to his new higher IQ card. The manager came out and said that the robot's batteries were low and that is why his answer was back in the lower IQ range. He changed the batteries and the robot had new life. I could take your question to him tomorrow

Whew!
thank goodness. And make sure that the voltage is correct. 110V or 220V or whatever that is appropriate. I guess the most apropos question would be the one concerning world politics. Would be interesting to hear about a non-sentient being's interpretation and recommendations to a complex situation.Can you ask the manager if they make an IQ card for humans? I'm doing just fine, I'm just wondering... for my um, friend.

ll,
I just returned from seeing the robot and gave him your questions about world politics . I asked him what the world politics will lead to. The manager came out and replaced the card.
The robot said to me, "Lou, do you not see all these things? Take heed that no one deceives you. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things could come to pass. For nation will rise against nation,and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famins,pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these will be the beginning of sorrows. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But just as the sun comes from the east and shines to the west, so also will these things happen. Do you not see that when eagles gather that there is a carcass on the ground? so Lou, you will not miss it.
And after all of that, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light, and the heavens will be shaken. Now learn about the fig tree, Lou. For when it puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So when you see all these things, it is near , at the Gate."

Friends,
I asked the robot if he knew the history of pizza.
The robot said to me,"Lou, way back in history there was a great volcanic eruption on Mt Vesuvious in Italy. And there has been uncovered the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii that was covered by the ash by the volcano.
Archaeologists have found the ovens used by those people and there were pizzas seen preserved in them, because the ash fell so quick that they did not have time to leave and they were buried. Lou, that's where we get the expression, 'I lava pizza".

How much world history does this robot know? I mean, someone told me that there was like this HUGE shipment of condiments bound for Vera Cruz on the Titanic and, to honor the memory of those lost condiments, the people of Mexico began observing that most solemn of holidays, Sinko de Mayo. I don't know if I believe him, tho.

FLB,
I saw the robot today. He said,"Lou, I can't talk today, the manager is furious with me."
I asked for what? He said to me,"Lou, I had to slice some pepperoni and I backed into the meat slicer and got a little behind in my work."

Friends,
I have been to the pizza parlor many times and here is what has happened.
The manager installed some new voice-recognition software in the robot.
So while I am at the counter a man comes up with a pizza and says to the robot, "This pizza tastes funny."
The robot says, "Then why arn't you laughing?"
Then the manager comes out and says that he had been robbed a few days ago and they took the high I.Q. software for the robot. I asked him if he took any pictures. He said, "Why are there some missing?"

Friends,
I was at the pizza parlor and the robot was now waiting on tables.
I sat down next to two people and the robot came over and asked what they would like to drink. The two people said that they would like water.
When the robot came back with the water, the two people were eating sandwiches thst they brought with them in their briefcases.
The robot said,"You can't eat your own sandwich here." The two people exchanged their sandwiches with each other.

Friends,
I have been to the pizza parlor a lot and the robot would kibitz with me.
I asked him if he had any relatives. He said," I had a gtreat-great grandfather that was one of the first robots.He was made in the 1800s when electricity was just starting to be used and was equipped to do jobs with tools. The goverment put him to work in a wildlife reservation where hunting was prohibited. People came there to picnic and such. There was an entrance gate and my great-gret granfather took a moose-head from the lodge and put it on top of the entrance gate and put lights on it. He was the first to wire a head for a reservation."
