If you go up to the fifth floor of the old Birch Woods
complex, you’ll find a plate of cookies waiting for you. Eat one.
They’re always fresh. Once you
do, the door will open and the old woman who lives inside will invite you in
for some tea and a chat. Don’t worry
about her, she’s harmless. Her and her
mechanical helpers.
She has an absolutely brilliant mind and would have done a
lot of great things if it weren’t for her early crippling arthritis and
rheumatism. Luckily, before it got too
bad, she managed to build one robot helper that would follow her directions and
be her hands. With it, she built more
and even though she can’t move very comfortably, she has no trouble doing
things or reaching out through the Internet.
Oh, the stories she has, from doing a video chat with
Stephen Hawking to contributing to the particle accelerator.
