Grand gestures of love take many forms on Valentine’s Day — flowers, chocolate, romantic dinners — but a tech-savvy couple has taken it to a new level.

Jennifer Tomblin and Amal Graafstra have made the most modern declaration of their affection for each other, with implanted electronic chips that allow them unfettered access to each other’s lives.

It’s called Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID. Both have had a small electronic chip embedded under their skin that grants access to each other’s front doors and home computers.

The system works like a key-card. A simple swipe of the wrist across an electronic sensor, and they’re in.

The couple sees the decision as a modern declaration of love that also happens to be functional.

“It’s convenient and all of that. But it’s definitely neat to have access to each other’s things. nobody else has that, definitely,” Tomblin told CTV’s Canada AM.

A man enters a bar and orders a drink. The bar has a robot bartender.

The robot serves him a perfectly prepared cocktail, and then asks him, “What’s your IQ?”

The man replies “150″ and the robot proceeds to make conversation about global warming factors, quantum physics and spirituality, biomimicry, environmental interconnectedness, string theory, nano-technology, and sexual proclivities

The customer is very impressed and thinks, “This is really cool.” He decides to test the robot. He walks out of the bar, turns around, and comes back in for another drink. Again, the robot serves him the perfectlty prepared drink and asks him, “What’s your IQ?”

The man responds, “about a 100.”

Immediately the robot starts talking, but this time, about football, NASCAR, baseball, supermodels, favorite fast foods, guns, and women’s breasts.

Really impressed, the man leaves the bar and decides to give the robot one more test. He heads out and returns, the robot serves him and asks, “What’s your IQ?”

The man replies, “Er, 50, I think.”

And the robot says… real slowly… “So…………… ya gonna vote Republican again?”

I just gave a training class, and it was a mess. I didn’t do a very good job of keeping it off topic, and boy did it wander. What a day.

Here’s one of those games I can’t decide whether or not to play console.

In order to have a true perspective on our importanace, everyone should have a dog to worship him and a cat to ignore him.
