- The lack of sci-fi education these days startles me! Guys 'n
- Gals, The vast majority of references in Heart of Steel came from a
- 1920s? German play called "RUR" (check out the blonde robot's licence
- plate #). RUR stands for "Rossum's Universal Robots." This was the
- first time the words "robot" was ever used. The plot was about a
- race of Robots created by this vast machine to take over the world.
- They overpower their "maker" Rossum, but are stopped in the end.
- I can't wait for Batgirl.
