In one of my college apartments, my upstairs neighbor was this wee slip of a girl who WALKED LIKE AN ELEPHANT. I could not figure out how that little mass could make so much noise. And it wasn't the building construction, I could barely hear the other roommates, and one was a giant.

She must have been a fembot. That's how the Six Million Dollar Man knew that Oscar had been replaced by a fembot--the fembot was much heavier, so the helicopter that fembot!Oscar was in had a hard time taking off.

Oscar Goldman was replaced by a robot. Oscar Goldman's secretary was replaced by a fembot. The Bionic Woman could detect fembots with her bionic ear.

What do fembots sounds like?

So is it just that fembots are girl robots? Or is there a certain... je ne sais quoi that fembots have?

Michele Bachmann?

Like a robot but with added pink noise.

Oh gods, there's some creepy uncanny valley going on here....

Nah, no pix. They're your standard above-the-knee narrow skirts in grey, black on black stripes...well, I think it is black. Or really, really really dark navy. So much so I can't tell.

We are totally the loud upstairs neighbors with obnoxious kids. Fortunately the woman who lives below us is cool with it - the only time it was ever a problem was right after Dylan was born, because we didn't realize how loud the sound of our glider was (and he would be up for HOURS at all hours of the nights). It was one of those weird situations where the sound carried only through the floor but not through the walls. So we got a thick mat for it and eventually he started sleeping through the night, and now she brings him Christmas presents.

My neighbor across the hall stomps up and down the stairs like an angry 130 lb. toddler in platform shoes. I bet I outweigh her by 80 pounds, but I move much more quietly.
