A Fun Moment of Whimsy and Historical Remembrance...


Giles sez, "Karel Čapek was the man who brought the word 'robot' to the English language with his play 'Rossum's Universal Robots' or 'R.U.R.' in 1921. When I visited his grave in Prague a couple weeks ago, someone had left the perfect memento - a small tin robot."
