All I meant was that I have many a female friend and I will NEVER be able to understand the way they think and why they act the way they do. When someone figures that out, that man will be worshipped like no ruler or god has been worshipped before.

Welcome to PEEL, ProcreatoryHead. Enjoy it here.  Wouldn't it equate murder to format a robots harddrive. That way you would whipe out all individual traits of the robot, and replace it with a blank sheet. I think mom built in an ageing device. Either to sell more robots when the old ones failed (most likely, think car manufactures) or to stop immortal robots to seize power (not likely, Mom doesn't care, she has her remote control).

Teral's theory of planned obsolescence fits well into Mom's vile character, and is the best one to use in a script...
However, everybody's forgetting Robot Hell, and robo-religions (the real ones, not the ones Bender makes up to avoid work). Many robots--believing what they are programmed to believe--believe in an afterlife, and you can't have an afterlife if you don't die.
Therefore, if you can live forever by exchanging parts, you have to have a simulation of natural death programmed into you. (Calculon, having lived over a thousand years according to "The Honking," may be a robo-athetist.)
This may all be a cover for Mom's planned-obsolescence scam. The part that makes my head hurts is the fact that robots like Calculon can choose to defy death, and therefore have genuine free choice, just like you puny humans have been tricked into thinking YOU possess. Mwahahahahahahaha!

I think that the plan is that robots die if they DONT have their parts replaced every so ofetn. This happens a lot because of the phenomenal cost of robot spares. Mom makes her money this way. So rather than replace their beloved metal mate people just throw them away, and buy a plastic pal. Simple.
