Thats kinda scary...

[mid_nite_poet]

your right Dirtz..it is kind of scary, but also fasinating....All this modern technology..One day we won't know the difference..Hmmmmm,  wonder if they will function in all aspects

[chainsawjohn]

Here's another example of realism. . .

[Michelicious]

Holy Cow!!!  Tell me the lifelike features of these females are not scary!  As Data on Star Trek once said... "I am programmed to function in every aspect of human behavior and gestures... I just don't understand emotions..."
Yikes... we could very well be looking into the near future.
Jules Vernes, Gene Roddenberry,Nostradamous, Plato, Socrates, Einstein... and all the 'great thinkers' of our times were definitely on to something.

I do think it's kinda scary....but fasinating as well.

[mid_nite_poet]

Just think we could have a man or a woman designed  the way we want him or her.. What a concept
let me see, I want a man that has....oops.. thinking out loud again  :oops:

*Now then: screwdriver, socket set, meccano, paint, latex, cucumber* Yep, I'm ready to start production  :D

[jimbola]

This is great.

I'm getting one for round the house.

By the way, the example I posted comes from http://www.realdoll.com, they are basically sex dolls (and there is a male model) but extremely lifelike and therefore extremely expensive, like around $3000.00 US. Supposedly the guy making them was making prothetics and found he could make more money this way. He starts with a biologically correct plastic skeleton, and uses varying densities of silicone to end up with a very real humanoid.

The movie 'Artificial Intelligence' dealt with the delicate subject of humanoids, something that looks as if we will have to deal with at some point in the future.

They also make the male versions... just not quite as lifelike as the females yet.  Guess the demand is not quite as 'high'!

Remote control in hand and scratching his balls.    That's so life like it's scary


I wonder if they can get him to say "I'll do it later"

It's close, though, hand on crotch, remote control in his hand, the only things missing are the beer can and the pizza box  :lol:

For a bit more money you can upgrade to the 'Pop-Up' version.

Oops, I was wrong about the price . . . here is the correct info from the website. . .

The Standard female REALDOLL is $6499.00. The Male Realdoll is $6999.00. Shipping is $500 within the continental United States, and generally $850.00 international.

Thanks for the male pic, Miche, looks quite realistic too. Funny how the male costs 69 hundred, what made them pick THAT number?

[Michelicious]

The male doll probably costs more... size, bulk, and of course... that added piece/part!  :twisted:

As for picking 69, I'm sure you can use your imagination as to why they would pick that particular number... he's reversible!!!

[mid_nite_poet]

For that price he better perform miracles..

[Michelicious]

Oh, give him time... he will!
BTW, just read the novel 'The Shore of Women' by Pamela Sargent... signs of things to come...
