A thousand years from now a couple of machines will be chatting about their newly-developed biological device which sorts batteries all by itself, "Using Natural Intelligence - and without eating them, too! And what I really like is how they're so much faster once they're given lots of coffee!"

"Crikey, Q2248! What're you trying to do, put us out of business? That's a trade secret you bluddy binar! Shut your gob or you're getting an upgrade!"

Coffee is free in my shop, so yes, I am heavily caffeinated.
