I must say that I find this thread offensive.
We at McDonald's cherish our cybergeeks and feel it's our duty to give them succour and nourishment however many hours they spend behind a monitor.
And in turn they give us their support in the form of their custom and loyalty.
This kind of attack on them could only come from someone with the morals of the Hamburglar!
And I for one say it should be stopped!

Come on, TUM, admit it. You dressed up as the cotton-candy mink.

I know what you're thinking, CyberGeeks! Remove all dirty thoughts right now!
Japanese develop 'female' android
By David Whitehouse
Science Editor, BBC News Website
Japanese scientists have unveiled the most human-looking robot yet devised - a "female" android called Repliee Q1.
She has flexible silicone for skin rather than hard plastic, and a number of sensors and motors to allow her to turn and react in a human-like manner.
She can flutter her eyelids and move her hands like a human. She even appears to breathe.
Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro of Osaka University says one day robots could fool us into believing they are human.
Repliee Q1 is not like any robot you will have seen before, at least outside of science-fiction movies.
She is designed to look human and although she can only sit at present, she has 31 actuators in her upper body, powered by a nearby air compressor, programmed to allow her to move like a human.
"We have found that people forget she is an android while interacting with her." Prof Hiroshi Ishiguro
"I have developed many robots before," Repliee Q1's designer, Professor Ishiguro, told the BBC News website, "but I soon realised the importance of its appearance. A human-like appearance gives a robot a strong feeling of presence."
Designed to look human
Before Repliee Q1, Professor Ishiguro developed Repliee R1 which had the appearance of a five-year-old Japanese girl.
Its head could move in nine directions and it could gesture with its arm. Four high-sensitivity tactile sensors were placed under the skin of its left arm that made the android react differently to differing pressures.
The follow-up has the appearance of a Japanese woman. To program her motion, a computer analysed the motions of a human and used them as a template for the way Repliee Q1 moves.
She can be designed to follow the movement of a human wearing motion sensors or to act independently.
"Repliee Q1 can interact with people. It can respond to people touching it. It's very satisfying, although we obviously have a long way to go yet."
Professor Ishiguro believes that it may prove possible to build an android that could pass for a human, if only for a brief period.
"An android could get away with it for a short time, 5-10 seconds. However, if we carefully select the situation, we could extend that, to perhaps 10 minutes," he said.
"More importantly, we have found that people forget she is an android while interacting with her. Consciously, it is easy to see that she is an android, but unconsciously, we react to the android as if she were a woman."
END
Here is my advice to you, CyberGeeks...Take a cold shower (or any shower for that matter), put on some clean clothes (that is, if you have any left), leave the house (the world will not end), and try interfacing with a real girl instead of relying on Professor Ishiguro to make all of your CyberFantasies come true! While you are at it, never forget The Ultimate Rule...

The choice is yours, horny CyberGeeks
You can have your Repliee Q1 femmebot OR you can follow the advice of TUM and get your hands on one (or two..or three) of these...
Think about it long and hard, but just remember...

Hell Yeah
Let me say this as clearly as possible:
TheUltimateMale is the king of all that is Tavern. Who ever disagrees with me shall hence forth be absolutely wrong. All that Sir_Stiven nonsense was small and insignificant compared to the talent, skill, wit, and charm of TheUltimateMale. He makes the Tavern a great place to visit. Dare I say . . . he is the KING!

Yes, I second that Consis, our online support group, Heroes Compulsives, needs dedicated individuals like TheUltimateMale, as those who are in the same boat cannot really help each other!

TUM, you should know that your influence on some fans is becoming rather dangerous. For instance, today one your fans terrorised me on MSN, threatening to kill my wife and children if I don't reveal your true identity to him. Luckily he cannot do that, because his threat is too dellusional to undertake - I don't have any wife and children. Clearly, your charms are too extreme to take for some people. Their admiration of you becomes too extreme to fake...

Replique Q1 femmebot is an option I guess, but can she tie a knot in a cherry stem with her teeth? I think not...
I think TUM needs to provide some more solid guidelines for these guys on how to get out and get a lady
Step one should be that very first climb up the stairs from their parent's basements
Also, I have to side with Valera here... stop badgering us with demands to know who TUM is! Its not important to know who he is, he is TUM, the beautiful saviour of the cybergeek! Thats all you need to know!

Thoughts on the Falling of the Volcanic Wastelands
In my never-so-humble opinion, the fall of these CyberGeek Breeding Grounds known as the Volcanic Wastelands could be summarized as...
One small step for CyberGeeks, one giant leap back to Reality.
Until we meet again, CyberSpammers, do yourselves a favor...Stop dreaming about how you are going to impress the cafeteria lady this year with the size of your post count, and start reading some of those books on your summer reading list.
By the way, please tell all of your CyberBabes that Moby Dick is not TUM's autobiography, regardless of what they think, and always remember...
