Three Laws of Robotics

Asimov and all that. The Guardian writes:

"Computer scientist Bill Joy ..has urged the general public to start thinking about the dangers posed by the rapidly advancing science of robotics, and Greenpeace issued a special report last year urging people to debate this matter as vigorously as they have debated the issues raised by genetic engineering. "

However:

"Chris Melhuish, a leading British roboticist admits: "The biggest threat our robots currently pose to humans is that you can trip over them." "

Monkey Boy is Lost

I remember reading years ago in the papers about a small child in Malaysia who took to climbing trees, and wouldn't come down except for the necessities of food and water. His parents were worried the way parents are, and the papers called him the Monkey Boy. There was a follow-up article some weeks later.

Yet no one else I've talked to has any recollection of either of these stories, and attempts to Google only bring up all sorts of un-related links.

Was there ever really a Monkey Boy, or did I make him up?
