This is a photo from an early production of R.U.R., the play that first introduced the term robot to the world. The play is by Czech playwright, Karel Čapek, but he attributes the invention of the word to his brother, Josef. The word 'robot' is derived from the Czech word for forced slave labour, robota.

I'm not moderating these comments. You can pretty much say whatever you want.
There is a spam filter though, which is apparently something that needs to be pointed out as distinct from moderation. I read a lot of the spam to double check that it is indeed spam. I don't really care what you say, but I'm going to draw the line somewhere.
