Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said the electric automaker will probably launch a 'Tesla Bot' humanoid robot prototype next year, designed for dangerous, repetitive, or boring work that people don't like to do like grocery shopping or car repairs. https://t.co/CdN3QAguqi https://t.co/oKYpnbakGE

[Bernard]

Well, for dangerous and repetitive jobs it is a good idea. But boring? As Doctor Johnson said: A man who is tired of grocery shopping or car repairs is tired of life!

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Well your Dr Johnson sure did live in interesting times

I adapted the quotation slightly. He certainly bought a lot of tea. It is reported that some days he drank 27 cups!

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

He seems to have left a lasting impression

[Bernard]

Yes, he is one of my literary heroes.
