By the way, this very invention came up on Howard Stern this morning, in his inimitable style:
HOWARD: "Professor Ishiguri..."
ROBIN: "Professor Ishiguru—you better get his name straight, he's going to be your god soon."
HOWARD: "Have you seen this guy? It's like REVENGE OF THE NERDS! It's nerd squared! Look at all those gadgets he's got! Ah so! I am Batman! Utility belt! She's not bad looking. She's Asian, but she kind of looks like Penelope Cruz."
ROBIN: "They should get that guy to fix the tiles on the Space Shuttle. Just put breasts on them, and I can assure you they'll stay on."
HOWARD: "Hey, don't goof on that guy. That's important work. I wonder if my girlfriend would mind? I mean, that's not cheating, is it? Let's make a pact, guys. When we have sex with our robots, let's not ask permission."
ROBIN: "Women can now get pregnant on their own, and men are making their own women robots."
(at this point, not inappropriately, they play a sample of George Takei saying: "Young wet bitches.")
