For those research projects for which discreet ask-no-questions assistance is essential, BorgCo are proud to offer the new iGor.
iGor is a humanoid robot; short, hunchbacked, immensely strong, and quite adept at grave robbing, high voltage electrical engineering, understanding the meteorology of thunderstorms, and abducting nubile young girls in almost-see-through lace nightgowns*.
iGor can remember over 10,000 of your favourite musical tracks, but apart from that is an albino, and is no better than the usual sort of deformed henchman, just a lot more expensive.
(* in response to several anxious enquiries from potential purchasers, we hasten to add that it is the young girls who wear the lacy nightgowns, not the iGor).-- 8th of 7, Jan 31 2011 Say not the cursed words "Third Party Product"-- 8th of 7, Jan 31 2011 For the //high voltage elctrical engineering//, he could use Coproco Enterprises' recently introduced soldering iRon.-- coprocephalous, Jan 31 2011 //iGor is a humanoid robot// So not an electronic device for reading pornographic fantasy novels then?-- DrBob, Jan 31 2011 Could be, if that's the sort of bedtime story you like ...-- 8th of 7, Jan 31 2011 //For the //high voltage elctrical engineering//, he could use Coproco Enterprises' recently introduced soldering iRon//
Or even Jb's "Spelchekr"-- Jinbish, Jan 31 2011 grumble, grumble, magic-- Voice, Jan 31 2011 Not magic, just cybernetics, careful programming, and a really good lighting bolt to start ...-- 8th of 7, Jan 31 2011 Is there some kind of LipLok (TM) to prevent the iGor whistling tunes that you don't have the DRM rights for?-- not_morrison_rm, Jan 31 2011 Certainly not - what good would an evil henchman be if he drew the line at copyright theft ?
iGor's "ethical" system is programmed with Frankenstein's Three Laws of Artificial Life:
1. "The End Justified The Means."
2."The Winning Side Gets To Write The History Books."
3. "Thou shalt not be found out."-- 8th of 7, Jan 31 2011 random, halfbakery
