Here's something fun! This is a photo of a piece of outdoor sculpture I took last year in Berlin (when I was at the Berlin Film Festival). I think it's quite evocative.
Creative challenge: think up a fun caption for this photo!

"They knocked more than the stuffing out of each other... All the robots had tried to do was hug when they found out their navigation systems could not focus properly... Now they could winch each other together..."
I think I'd better leave it there.

No, no!! Roger said "a whack on the side of the head", not this other part (oh, that's creativity!!).
OK, I'll stop now - getting out of hand (and head)...........
