Hmmm, I am the one complaining about "Yet another stupid Markup Language" in the sandbox, in case that is still there. Heard about this place from a friend and wanted to check it out; it seems like a very neat idea to me. Still experimenting :)
edit: found this on google and seems I gave up experimenting with this wiki back in 2001. Gonna experiment some more though and add a poem-like thing I wrote to this.
The Apeshit Robot
Original by Sandra Rennecke in German from 09-Nov-2004, Translated to English by Sandra Rennecke on 03-June-2008Once upon a time there was an Inventor who built a beautiful robot. This robot could cook and clean as well a get drunk work as a doorman as well as a maid.
But alas the robot was so beautiful, that all who saw it envied the Inventor, and soon the Inventor lost all his friends.
Thus he turned of the robot and put it in the garden as a fountain ornament.
But the small and cute robins and sparrows perched on it and drank from the fountain and now the Inventor himself became jealous.
So he put the robot into a big sunny attic, where he hid old memories. But cobwebs threatened to cover it and mice came out, munching on the colourful cables.
The Inventor did not know anmore where to put this thing he had created and finally decided to limit it's functionality and gave it to a zoo.
There the robot now sits in a cage and the robot becomes friends with the apes.
