Droids in Star Wars

Sounds like something my Grandfather would do. In fact, he did. To my mom and both uncles.

Our science teacher use to have a wooden stick with an eye drawn on with felt tip pen. It was called Proffessor Moriarty. Used to have great fun chasing us round the class room with it

He was only evey playing, but I can't see that happening in school these days.

[Mikey]

You mean, to hit you with?

[kostmayer]

Heh, nah, he never hit us with it.

that electicity thing sounds like another story of my dads, when he was my age he used to go out on the family farm for a few weeks in the summer, and to wake him up, my great-grandfather would pull him out of bed, and march him up to the edge of the property where he had an electric fence, then, since my dad was still half asleep and not paying atention, he'd grab my dad's arm first then the electric fence with the other hand so it'd zap my dad.

One time, after several years, my dad finally got him back, he knew it was comming and got himself ready so when gg grabbed the fence he didn't move as if the fence wasn't working, so my great grandpa let go of my dad to see what was up with the fence and got zapped himself.

or I could tell you about the lazy hired farm hand that had to take a pis, but I'll let you think about that one

Hopefully it killed him, or at least sterilized him, so he couldn't pass on the "bonehead" gene.

Basicaly, sentience is just the ability to experience things; something any animal can do.
Sapience is used to describe creatures that can perform higher reasoning, like humans.

Course, this leads to the famously stupid phrase that pops up in all sci-fi: "there's sentient life on that planet". What they mean is that there's sapient life on that planet.
It's also why we're called Homo Sapiens.

Really? Now I feel pretty dumb. I thought sentient meant the definition of sapient. Urgh, thanks for the clear-up.

well let's say pissing into a thicket where three electric fences come together is going to sting a little bit.

I'm suburban born and bred, but I find it pretty difficult to believe that on a farm this guy couldn't find anywhere to pee besides on an electric fence. I was always under the impression that the total land area on a farm had a pretty high "fence isn't exactly right here" to "here's the fence on this spot" ratio.

I swear Mythbusters busted the fence peeing one...

But yeah, a farm usually has a lot of empty space. Then again, guys seem to have a need to piss on something when they go.

They did. I have the episode on DVD. Or is it the third rail one...

[Aaron]

Pretty sure that they did both.

Oh...you meant which one you had.

[Lt. Staplic]

well it probably didn't help that my great grandfather, the same one from the other story, told him to go piss there. He was kind of mad at him

[Mikey]

Now I wish the guy had gotten kicked in the head by a large stock animal. Did he really think it normal that his boss was directing him specifically where to piss outdoors?

wow way off topic lol
Droids in Star Wars are also limited legally because of the droids revolt around 4000 BBY.
