I'm still creeped out by Furbies and even Teddy Ruxpins. A machine that looks like it's alive, repeats nonsense or repetitive questions, is a Terminator or Screamer, just doesn't have the final firmware installed yet.

Thou shalt not make a machine in the image of a fuzzy object that talks.

Well, there is no denying that Furbys (and all similar animatronics) are demonic. Or in the very least possessed by malevolent machine entities.

In fact the first draft of Goethe's Faust described Mephisto as a weird mixture between a robotic owl and a gremlin before it gets fed after midnight.
