#1 This was a surprisingly positive story in the Sunday WaPo Style (!) section. I enjoyed reading it and I'm glad Wretchard took a look.

#2 Wretchard's remarks about human love making things real flies in the face of our enemy, Islam.
Think about it; Human love is not important in Islam. Inanimate objects are not important under Islam. Is it any wonder that the right stands against Islam, but the left who value creation so lowly and conformity so highly doesn't even realize the enemy's identity.
In Islam, if you need a child to believe what you teach, beat him. If you need sex, tie a goat to a fence. Feelings need never be displayed. Don't laugh, sing or dance. Islam has sold those human activities to the Devil, and the Devil has provided them a thrist for blood beyond human exceptability.

#3 The story reminds me of an old Texas A&M (Aggie) joke, in which an Aggie scientist has trained a spider to walk on command.

"Walk!", he said, and the spider walks.

Then he removes one of the spider's legs.

"Walk!", he says, and the spider still walks, so he removes another leg. And so on.

Finally the spider has only one leg, and yet still pulls itself along by that one leg on command. So he removes it. "Walk!", he commands.

The spider just sits there. So the Aggie scientist notes in his journal that "Removing all a spider's legs make it deef."

Well, that's what his federal grant money proved.
