I was thinking of building a robot shark.

That sounds like a horribly bad idea.

Why? I’d control it.

To start, sure. But we all know how this story goes. Boy builds shark, boy controls shark, shark gains mind of its own, shark kills town.

Ok, valid point. Still, I’d really like a robot shark.

For what?

You know, robot shark things.

Do you have many robot shark things to do?

Well, not currently. But I think that’s only because I don’t have a robot shark. If I did, I’m sure many robot shark things would appear to me, and need doing.

Cart before horse.

Shark before horse.

Wait, why is the horse chasing the shark?

It’s not… I just… oh never mind.

And no robot horse, either.

Those are cars.

Only kinda.

Close enough, and less pooping, so far superior.

Would the robot shark poop?

What, no! Why would it?

I dunno. Sharks must.

Sure. Doesn’t mean robot duplicates need to.

You should make a shark poop robot.

You’re not helping.

Was I trying to?
