She spun off the hood like a doll, dead. With screaming tires, Salameh turned his truck and sped off. He headed for Balata refugee camp at the edge of Nablus. The patrolmen chasing him were nervous.

An electric motor purrs and the doll begins to grind its hips with enough thrust to silence even Captain Kirk's constant demands for more...
...currently impossible to mimic," says Ronald Fearing, electrical engineering and robotics professor at Berkeley who is working on an automated fly. "Giving it artificial intelligence isn't much of a problem, but giving it human grace is a long way off." So while Stacy may be a real doll, you'll never mistake her for a real woman...
