Pinnochio ! (Texas father duplicates his son as a toy robot) - cbelt3 - 09-13-2007
Most cool, but of course rather creepy. Personally I'm glad that my son has real human friends his age to play with. Our fascination with artificial and virtual 'friends' and 'toys' is starting to push us more and more into what Isaac Asimov called "The Cocoon of Technology".

Man there was a show on Sci-Fi last night with exactly that premise.

Which one?
Kingdom Hospital, or Stargate?
Only thing on SciFi last night.

That's Astroboy, not Pinocchio.
