What I want to know is how it passed its Driver's License Exam?  Did it
strike up a witty conversation with the bored civil servant in the car?
How many little cones did the computer crush to get a good expression and
threat from the test giver?

If your test is anything like the retarded one here in utah I assume that
you blew off the need to interpret the images on the written test and 
chose a good random number generator to increase your chances of getting 
the answer right.  

And the final question of course is "Can it parallel park?"
