    Yesterday – butterfly & muskrat love.
    Today – robot love.

    Robot Love
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqLIl6-1ZEU

    human vs. machine
    emotion vs. logic
    freewill vs. destiny
    true love vs. unconditional love
    reality vs. fantasy
    ego vs. id

    Must override core love programming with higher level logic. A human is greater than the sum of it’s parts. Is love what makes us human?

    Yikes. What an embarrassing typo. I’m tempted to correct my careless error and replace today’s abomination…but then, I’d deprive my readers of the opportunity to ridicule me.

    Given the character of your strip, Teresa, I thought it was intentional. Really!

    Teresa, seriously, I thought it was a deliberate pun, supposed to make us run through deep philosophical thoughts about knowing what matters ‘n’ stuff; you coulda bluffed it out. :-D

    Anyway, I consider that sort of error a “typo”; and I consider typos to be acts of God.

    It’s actually a homonymo. I do it all the time. Sometimes you hear a word in your head and it comes out of your fingers, only it’s the homonym.
    A typo would be “ni matter what…” where your finger hits the wrong key.
    A homonymo is just your fingers not agreeing with your mind. Probably happens only to reasonably nimble typists, who don’t need to think about the keys but just “let their fingers do the walking.”
    Now, if Teresa penned the word rather than typed it, well…my theory is blown to bits (and so is the excuse I’ve offered her).

    Just replacing one word, and then repeating all of the same lyrics other than that one word, does not qualify as filking.

    Chuckie’s filk is just a casual attempt. I am sure he could do better if he gave more than 10 minutes on it. But you ask 6 filkers this question and you’re guaranteed to get 22 answers. All different.

    And Teresa, this FILKING came from a typo, an erroneous version of the word “folk”, as in “folk music”, so maybe your typo will have life of its own.
