  When did machines begin tweeting as themselves? I find it odd as there are usually lots of tweets that no person would make such as "scientists are sending commands to repair my body." or "soon technicians will install new parts into me."

    This is one way you take science to the masses. I think giving each Philae instrument its own Twitter account is a great idea.

      I find it pretty deep in the uncanny valley.

  The first bit of Wall-E had exactly that effect on me. I think it's amazing how animators can make inanimate objects so expressive.

    Wall-E is absolutely amazing in that way. My little ones have a total crush on him and I must have seen the movie about 400 times or so. I think I know the dialogue by heart and I still like to look at it every now and then to appreciate the skill of the animators.

  And I'm sure most people here saw this compilation for Philae, but if you didn't: http://xkcd1446.org/#0 http://xkcd1446.org/#0
