= Things about the Church of Robotology =
- based on the teachings of the robot prophet Jerematic
- as told in the "Good Book 3.0" [on 3.5" disk]
- believes in a devil but not a god?
- baptism ceremony with "high viscosity baptismal oil"
- church is called the "Temple of Robotology"
- the church is un-airconditioned and located in bum town
- the robot congregation welcomes human visitors
- members enjoy fasting and repentance
- members are "saved" similar to christian religions
- minister's robe features the flames of hell and a ray of light
and clouds from heaven
- sign "10 sin, 20 goto hell" [another BASIC ref.]
- "robot fish" vehicle ornaments
- the symbol appears:
-- as the shape of the reverend's antenna
-- welded to church members
-- on the stained glass window
-- as the shape of the candlesticks
-- on the wall above the pulpit
- the "Principles of Robotology"
-- Thou shalt not snatch
-- no alcohol, no sex, no gambling, no cheating, no forging
phony IOU's, no selling bootleg tapes, no fencing diamonds,
no fixing cockfights, no publishing indecent magazines
-- a shiny metal ass does not impress
- Robot grace
"In the name of all that is good and logical, we give thanks
for the chemical energy we are about to absorb. Quote the
prophet Jerematic: one zero..[in binary].....two. amen."= previous episodes = [1ACV07] Essence of Elzar [Elzar's Fine Cuisine]
= New celestial bodies = - Sicily 8, the mob planet - Coalsack Nebula
= Cultural References = - Halleujah Chorus from The Messiah by Handel - The Jesus Fish appears on many cars here in the southern United States, as do many variations such as Jesus spelled in Hebrew. There are also variations for Hindu, Budda, etc. I've even seen mock variations including one that says 'Darwin' and is in the shape of a creature with legs, as to promote evolution from the fishes of the sea.
= The Amy Wong Fashion Show* = - another outfit to add to the fashion show, a conservatively styled powder blue dress with matching hat.
