Our Mascot
Marvin is a robot, first mentioned in Hitchiker's Guide
to the Galaxy. He is continually depressed. I feel pity
for him. Here is some stuff from and about him.
Here are some quotes from our mascot:
"Life! Don't talk to me about life"
"You think you've got problems, what are you supposed
to do if you're a manically depressed robot? No, don't
bother to answer that, I'm fifty thousand times more
intelligent than you and even I don't know the answer.
It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level."
"I've been ordered to take you down to the bridge. Here
I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me to take
you down to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction?
'Cos I don't."
"Thank you marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics
Corporation, 'Let's build robots with Genuine People
Personalities' they said. So they tried it out with me.
I'm a personality prototype. You can tell can't you?"
"Sorry, did I say something wrong? Pardon me for breathing,
which I never do anyway so I don't know why I bother to say
it, oh God I'm so depressed."
"Do you want me to sit in a corner and rust or just fall
apart where I'm standing?"
"Life, loathe it or ignore it, you can't like it."
"Don't feel you have to take any notice of me, please."
"Don't pretend you want to talk to me, I know you hate me."
"I only have to talk to somebody and they begin to hate me.
Even robots hate me. If you just ignore me I expect I shall
probably go away."
