Japanese professor defies God
Let’s just say I can think of a few uses for this technology. The Japanese, the crafty inventors on the other side of the world, have created a female android. Created by one Professor Hiroshi Ishiguru of Osaka University, a card carrying mad scientist if there ever was one, who believes one day androids could pass as human. He think they can fool us gullible bags of mostly water, for a full 10 minutes.
The android can respond to external stimuli, including touch. But Professor Ishiguru admits there is still a lot of work to do. Right now the android moves, and even appears to breath, by way of an external air compressor. Although she can only sit at present, she has 31 actuators that enable human-like movements.
All I can say is I for one welcome our new Asian female android overlords.

I’ve got to say, you took a far less… risque… look at this than I did - it was only 5 minutes before I started cracking jokes about used panty vending machines.
