Let's kick it off with everyone's favorite artificially intelligent toy, the Furby:
What we learn from the Furby is that creepiness is a function of cuteness, cuddliness, and intelligent thought, inversely proportional to the amount of soul-lessness of the possessor.
Which then bares the question: "If a soul is then factored in, why then would a creature similar to a Furby in cuteness and cuddliness be considered creepy?"

I'm so glad to have found out about your blog. I love it!

Sorry, I got a little carried away with the clown nose idea. In fact, I hate clowns. It's like they think they can just break into your house in the middle of the night get a glass of milk and sit on your couch and watch tv. And then they just try to smile it off, like there's nothing wrong. Those clowns need to be taught a lesson.
