Description Of A Robot

(From I, Robot by Isaac Asimov)

"Gosh," marveled detective Will Smith with an audible gulp. "These things are robots?"

"Yes," replied Sexy Female Assistant, who was sassy and standoffish, but ultimately interested in romance. She pointed at one robot in the assembly line. "That one right there is special. It's the prototype."

The robot was magnificent. Its frame was mostly heavy cardboard that had been painted silver. A sparkling pot sat atop the body, bolts welded into place for eyes and teeth.

Tin can hands dangled from lengths of rope wrapped in duct tape, which served as arms. The robot's legs and feet were sledgehammers standing on end.

A multitude of colored light bulbs were affixed to every surface that was vaguely straight and sturdy enough to hold them. An enormous boat wheel protruded from the back, its spokes ringing futuristic-sounding bells as it spun.

"Robot #2" was scrawled vertically along the technological marvel's side in chalk.

Sexy Female Assistant frowned.

"Oh, no. I was pointing at the robot next to that one."
