Calvin: Hey, Dad, I'm inventing a robot. Can you get me a patent? Dad: You invented a robot? Calvin: Well, here it is so far. Hobbes and I have been working on it all afternoon. It's not quite perfected yet, but you get the idea. Dad: Hmm...what does it do? Calvin: That's the problem. We haven't figured out how to make it do what we want.
