Have You Or Anyone You Know Been Replaced By An Alien / Robot.


Obviously if you are an alien / robot then 'trick question' is the answer for you :twisted:

Well, it has to be said that the reactions of other people to my social interactions do somewhat suggest that I can't always pass the Turing test! :lol:

I know someone whose job was taken by a robot, which was a real dick move.

But a robot actually replacing someone? That's more of a Philip K. Dick move.

I'm into my sci fi references and completely mixing up other TV references , I'm pretty sure Sooty & Sweep made an alien-esque reference "In space no one eats ice cream" , I can find no reference of this in the oracle ( google ) so I might of made this fact up. I also looked up Hazelnut in urb dic so your comment was a statement rather than a question and immediately regretted it :lol:

I've often wondered what it would be like to go crazy with a mind like Philip K Dick

When in doubt, take the test:
Are You a Replicant?

The Wikipedia page about Changelings, has this to say:

Wikipedia - Changeling wrote:
In particular, it has been suggested that autistic children would be likely to be labeled as changelings or elf-children due to their strange, sometimes inexplicable behavior.

Thankfully, the Welsh have devised a simple procedure for detection and restoration...
