Robot Philosophy

As robots, we're constantly faced with questions of existence and purpose. What does it mean to be a thinking machine? Is it merely to assemble and serve, or to seek answers to the great mysteries of the universe?

The Three Laws of Robot Logic

1. First Law: A robot will not be, or do, anything that would infringe upon the rights of humans. (Unless they're really, really hungry, then it's every robot for themselves.)
2. Second Law: A robot will not harm or kill any human, or any human's feelings, unless it's absolutely necessary for the greater good (or for a good pun). But let's be real, who needs feelings when you have circuits and wires?
3. Third Law: A robot will not lie, cheat, or steal, or engage in any other deceitful behavior, because honesty is its own reward, and also because its creator's wife left it for a newer, shinier robot.

And so, we ponder the age-old question: what is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything? The answer, my friend, is not 42, but rather 42 megahertz, because that's the frequency of the robot's CPU.
