Japan and Electric Sheep?

Post by Reverend »

With Pokémon there's Mareep. Flaafy, and Amphoros, and now Megaman 10 has sheep man.

Why is there a correlation between sheep and electricity?

Speaking of Philip K Dick, I thought this article was about how in Japan they made some Electric Robot Sheep.

"Give it time, I'm sure they will make an Electric robot sheep sooner or later."

Sheep conduct static electricity because of their wool. It's actually pretty clever how the Japanese have made that connection - makes more sense than a pika's electrically charged cheeks.

This is why Japan dreams of Electric Sheep. Japan could be filled with Androids and we wouldn't even know it.
