This ball expanded, and after about 4-hundred-thousand years cooled sufficiently to allow the photons to escape. These photons we now detect and call the...

    Robot

    I bought my wife a vacuum cleaner for Valentines Day. I was able to return home from the motel a few days later and we tested it. This Roomba computer controlled "sucker" actually works pretty well, eventually getting to about 95% of each room. It starts in a spiral, and then if it contacts...
