    The pic on the homepage, before you enlarge it, doesn't even show the woman, just the robot (well, you can see the top of her forehead and her hair, but still).

    Must have been daddy's money. A relatively young looking woman, coughing up USD 927k... Smells like daddy's money. But I could be wrong.

    Moderator: Readers, whether or not it is her father's money is, of course, irrelevant. Please stay on topic.

    Sankei ryouriten o Taikoku! It looks fun and flattering! I found Marvin the Martian with Bing and i guess i do see a bit of resemblance.. but I think i rather meet this waiter with a platter of such yummy food instead of the Martian... he seems to like ray-guns too much? This ryouriten is a place that I would love to visit!
