Ok, after reading this thread, I had a dream last night about that ASIMO robot that Sushi linked to.
Basically, Japan is still pissed that they were beat during the last war, and have been plotting revenge for the last 50 years. The best way to do it? Build an army of clone robots! (Just watched Star Wars again, sorry) But here is the kicker (Stated by the Japanese Colonel) - "We will make them love us with our exceptional cars and electronics! The enemy will finance their own demise! And we will build them right in their own backyards!" (The Accord plant in Ohio, and the Odyssey plant in Ontario)
Now before the rants start - accusing me of being an ignorant, paranoid bigot, please note: The dream was more of an entertaining movie/cartoon than a bolt-up sweating nightmare. I find the Japanese people and culture facinating and their products are amazing. (save for speakers)
