I think this family should have gotten automatic green cards and admission into the US. They could do a reality TV show, pimp my boat ride or something. Alas that was not the case. Follow the link to floatingcubans.com for much more detail and more links.

Tired Old Robot
This is the sessile robot that calculates our tithe to the hospital for driving to work and being up all night. He used to have a better voice but it appears that he has had a stroke or laryngitis. Poor Mr Parking Robot.
