Cow Tools: Eric Frank Russells's "Allamagoosa": This Short Story (link) has a spaceship being inspected by Admiral Beancounter, and the crew realize they’re missing an "offog". Many purposes, as well as descriptions, are put forward for this essential item of a starship's inventory... unfortunately, all of them are wrong. The pressing concern for most of the story is not what it actually is, but that they have to have one. |

comment |
Brain Uploading: In "The Tunnel Under The World", by Frederick Pohl, Guy Burckhardt is creeped out by the robots at the factory. His business partner tells him that each of the machines there operates with the uploaded memories and minds of actual human beings. When the inhabitants of Tylerton were killed in a chemical explosion, including Guy, their minds were transferred into miniature robots the same way. Now Dorchin uses them as advertising test subjects. |
