Just Stuff

I noticed a strange object going around S.H.I.E.L.D. today. It’s small, round, and very flat. It glides on the floor, and sometimes it goes back and forth around one spot for a while. I wasn’t sure what it was doing, until I watched it for a couple minutes and realized that it was trying to pick up some crumbs that someone had dropped on the floor. It sure seemed intent on picking up those crumbs. And then the crumbs would disappear. I think it was eating them.

It looks like a machine, and there might be some things that look like buttons on the top of it. But it also seems so hungry. And all of Tony’s talking robots are very human, even though Tony insists that they are machines. For instance, I had a nice and very intellectual conversation with J.A.R.V.I.S. about Van Gogh the other day, until Tony came in and told us to talk about something interesting.

No one seems to pay this little fella any attention. They just ignore it as it goes by them. I think that’s why it’s so hungry. I will leave crumbs out for it, just to make sure that it has something to eat.

Is there anything in the world more adorable than Steve feeding the Roomba?

Nope.  I didn’t think so either.
