I'm just saying that you shouldn't complain about having to wait longer for
better service, i'm not complaining about the wait it takes for solarbotic,
because there isn't much of one! I was complaining about overnight shipping
places that get your orders wrong, perhaps i should have clarified! sorry!

I just remembered that we have a sixth sense to help us balance. just get
ghosts to hold you up, no. we have a gravity sensor that tells where our
head is at all times so we know when we're about to fall. if we get this
into our biped it probably wont fall over. it will still need very quick
reflexes to keep stand up. the ghosts might work too.
