Is this where I'm supposed to make a half joking statement that I don't need a towel folding robot, because I have a wife?

If it can do that, it can make a grilled cheeze and fetch a beer. I'll bet it could grind knife blades as well. I think I'm in love.

Wife? These days you just **** the robot. I believe we're working towards a future of robotic mates.

Its funny that the robot designers first took care of fornication (the nerds that they are) and then began to concern themselves with the other functions.

"Look! You can **** it AND THEN it will fold your towels! Pretty nifty, eh?"

amazing bit of progress... but an hour and 40 minutes to fold 5 rectangles doesn't make me fear a Cylon invasion during my life time
