Now, of course, I picture Orphu and Mahnmut, the hyper-literate and Shakespeare loving androids from Dan Simmons' masterpieces Ilium and Olympos, discussing where the restrooms might have been.

Because if you've read those MASTERPIECES, you know about the hysterical conversation that Mahnmut has with Shakespeare in a dream sequence (yes, androids dream, as these are sophisticated agglomerations of technology with biological bits thrown int, but they consider themselves a separate grouping of life, called "moravecs") when he meets Willie on a bridge in London.

Here's a robot from the 32nd century dreaming of talking with Shakespeare, his idol, and all he can focus on is the HORRIBLE SMELL of London as they walk around.
