    Yes.. And they have a plan!

    To provide you with muffins, toast, tea cakes, buns, baps, baguettes, bagels, croissants, crumpets, pancakes, potato cakes, hot cross buns, flapjacks and waffles.

    The question is this: Given that God is infinite, and that the universe is also infinite... would you like a toasted teacake?

    Yeah, I would. But I see Yul Brynner, I'm outta there faster than you can say "holy shit that's Yul Brynner".

    Yes. We have nothing to fear from robots and we better start getting used to them because lets just say their influence in our lives is certainly NOT on the decrease anytime soon.

    No, it would weird me out and would feel far too cold and impersonal.
