for some reason I can’t imagine W. taking the time to answer this sort of questions…although he did seem to be pretty focused on the pig recently….

Putin Weighs In on Robots, Sex Following Internet Conference
The St. Petersburg Times
MOSCOW â Russia will use robots to defend its borders, and President Vladimir Putin does not remember the first time he had sex.
After wrapping up an online conference last Thursday, Putin took a few minutes to answer several of the most-popular questions sent in by Russian Internet users, Kommersant reported Friday. The two journalists who hosted the 130-minute webcast had largely ignored the top-rated questions submitted online from around the world, focusing instead on foreign and domestic policy issues.
âYes, we will use the latest technical devices. Already now they are being stationed, for example, in the southern parts of our country,â? Putin said when reporters asked him after the conference whether Russia planned to use âgigantic, humanoid war robotsâ? to defend itself.
Asked to elaborate about what he meant, Putin said: âThese are unmanned aerial vehicles. And maybe the time will come for gigantic robots. However, so far we have put our main hope on people â namely border guards,â? Putin said, Kommersant reported.
Asked about the possible awakening of the giant mythical octopus Cthulhu, the fourth-most popular question among the more than 150,000 sent to Putin, he said that he believed something more serious was behind the question. Cthulhu was invented by novelist H.P. Lovecraft and was said to be sleeping beneath the Pacific Ocean.
Putin said he viewed mysterious forces with suspicion and advised those who took them seriously to read the Bible, Koran or other religious books.
âWhen did you start to have sex?â? Kommersant reporter Andrei Kolesnikov then asked, verbalizing a question that was on the minds of 5,640 Internet users.
âI donât remember when I started. But I can remember the last time,â? Putin said.
