Does a present or two from robotics related people count as robotics related? About a week before Christmas I got a telephone call from a sort of familiar, robotics related voice and the conversation went like this:

Me: "Hello?"
She:"If you were going to kill someone, would you use an ax or a crowbar?"
Me: "Hmmm... an ax, I think, it would probably be quicker."
She: "Okay, thanks." <click>
Me: <shrugged shoulders and hung up phone>

A couple of days after Christmas, 5 former students showed up at my door and presented me with an ax with a Christmas bow on it. Oh well, at least I did get some normal gifts too, like bath-beads-confetti-salt-bubble stuff, ink for my photo-printer, the Decemberists latest CD, Hair on DVD, Fame, the movie on DVD along with the first season of the Fame television show on DVD, some books for my history class, some money for school, a slip and slide for my crocodiles (the crocs thank you, Wetzel!), the world... well, just a tiny copy of it, a donation of school supplies to Amazon Peruvian school children made in my name, a giant hedgehog chair-thingy, and lots of other stuff.
