Real Intelligent Design
Japanese scientists have developed a commericially available home robot, Wakamaru, "who can can watch over homes while the owners are away, alerting them to possible burglaries, help monitor the condition of a sick person and act as a secretary, recording notes and appointments and reminding owners of them with well-timed announcement."
"The one-metre tall humanoid recognises up to 10 faces and understands 10,000 words (in Japanese) weighs 66lb and is expected to cost US$14,300."
Meanwhile, still in R&D is a remarkably lifelike female android. She can't talk yet, but it appears it will only be a matter of time before a completely interactive model will be developed.
What do you want to bet that they don't teach creationism in Japanese science classes?
