I can tell you how it works. As soon as you do find one and settle down with her, a dozen a week will come knocking at your door. Never fails.

It's already started.

TOKYO - She is big-busted, petite, very friendly, and she runs on batteries.

A Japanese firm has produced a 15-inch tall robotic girlfriend that kisses on command, to go on sale in September for around $175, with a target market of lonely adult men.

Using her infrared sensors and battery power, the diminutive damsel named "EMA" puckers up for nearby human heads, entering what designers call its "love mode."

"Strong, tough and battle-ready are some of the words often associated with robots, but we wanted to break that stereotype and provide a robot that's sweet and interactive," said Minako Sakanoue, a spokeswoman for the maker, Sega Toys.

"She's very lovable and though she's not a human, she can act like a real girlfriend."

EMA, which stands for Eternal Maiden Actualization, can also hand out business cards, sing and dance, with Sega hoping to sell 10,000 in the first year.

Japan, home to almost half the world's 800,000 industrial robots, envisions a $10-billion market for artificial intelligence in a decade.

Sad but true. The "invisible hand" rules ... or, as H.L. Mencken sardonically observed, "No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public."

If half the energy went into the space program as is spent on studying the female bosom, we'd now be operating hot dog stands on the moon.

But, are the female bosoms being studied real or on a doll?

A 15 inch tall robotic girlfriend???? WTH???

Just about right for looking in the oven door I guess. "Biscuits done yet???"

I'd call that looking on the positive side.

OTOH, how tall does a GF really have to be to say:
"Give me all your money"
"Buy me a new car"
"I'm going to the mall-give me the debit card--mine's worn out"
"I need new clothes--these are so 'May'."

What can "she" kiss if she's only 15 inches tall? She needs to be at least two and a half times that height.
