1. There are prophecies written in the stars if you know how to read them– but they aren’t our stars and it takes mankind centuries to reach them.

2. It’s a janitorial robot, not a pet, but the administration has given up removing the googly eyes and floppy ears that the grad students keep on supergluing where they think the head should be.
