The biggest advancements in robot technology all come because there are people out there who really wanna bang a robot without the inevitable appendage loss.
Reminds me of the joke about the man who came home from work and always told his wife he had this hankering to put his <erm, you know> in the pickle slicer. She kept telling him that he was messed up and to not do it. After saying this for weeks, he came home one day and told her that he got fired for following through with his desire. When the wife asked him what happened he replied "well, she got fired too"
