My cheap lawn mower which was doing my back in but
still worked was dumped at the end of the drive, it was gone the next
day.
If I had not got rid of it I'd be tempted to keep using it - getting
no younger. I will now HAVE to get a new one.
Been thinking of this: Two small lawns.

I favour a sort of cyborg-mower: it ambles around the grass by itself
after the manner of a sheep, but programmed to avoid the flower beds; then
at night it parks itself over a drain and quietly defecates into the sewer
system where its faeces (along with waste from human sources) are
converted to methane to be stored for useful purposes.

It ought to be possible to genetically engineer cattle in much the same
way - it would save the farmers a lot of work. One can toilet-train dogs,
so why not cattle?

Different brains.
