I think Sam is still in Virginia. He's #2 in points because the robot sits on the computer and e-mails him stories all day.

The way I understand it, the robots like to browse open source hardware sites at night. They can afford to do this because YCombinator actually draws power from a transformer in the nearby subway system, that nobody has detected as of yet, because the only way to get to it is via a unicycle on a trapeze wire.

In the past, both robots were singularly responsible for two disparate California blackouts. Former television robot-turned Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, just turns his head. It will be interesting to see what happens this summer. (This is also why YCombinators Boston and Mountain View are located within 1 mile of the subway.)

Via a unicycle, obviously, not a tricycle. :)

Yes, that's what I meant to say (Trevor's unicycle)! Although, a tricycle would be even harder to ride down a trapeze wire.
