I'd have to agree that's a point in your favor. Just today I heard a story
about a women (I think it was in Virginia) who was arrested for trying to pass a
$200 bill with President Bush (!) on the front. She claimed she thought it was
real. Worse, the person at the checkout thought it was as well.
You know that "Americans aren't (too) much stupider than others" comment I
made? Yeah, I may be retracting that...

Don't worry, just give us some time; several states in the union are working
hard on spanish, for instance.

I never felt that, perhaps having read some of the early comics (& none of
the later ones, to be honest). And I never thought they looked threatening as
much as purely mechanical and non-human. However, it's also clear that on this
point I'm in the minority.
