Research Archive File Entry: #30907
Submitted by User: Princess Augusta
Subject: Golf Tournaments, USA
Entry Text: The Misters golf tournament, briefly mentioned in archive file number #626f7473, was a golf tournament in Augusta, Georgia, USA. Not much is left of the famous golf courses in Augusta, except for large expanses of grass that are reclaiming the land, and some sand boxes, presumably for children’s playtime. The skellybots learned about various types of “clubs” used to hit a small white ball for very long distances. Types of clubs pictured are the granny cane, the big red hoe, the classic club (not to be confused with the sandwich in research file 779), and the femur.

Entry Text: The bots, upon finding a tv studio and kitchen combo, decided to create their own cooking show for broadcast back to their home planet. Using translation software and after many arguments about creative control, the bots decided to call their show “01010011 01101011 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101001 00100000 01000100 01100101 01101100 01101001” or “Skelly Deli!”.

File Number: 9577
Subject: SPACE Text: The skellybots are well acquainted with space travel, but found the quaint human efforts to learn about the universe particularly precious. In order to survive the relatively mild pressures of space, humans put glass bulbs on their heads and special suits to keep their squishy bodies from freezing. One thing is certain, the view of earth from space is amazing, especially with its beautiful brown rings, created in the amazon factory explosion of 2123.

Text: Human beings created building dedicated to an exchange system where items are traded for colorful papers in muted palettes dedicated to important historical figures such as a Benjamin Franklin, Queen Elizabeth II, Mao Zedong, and Rich Uncle Pennybags.

Text: The skellybots appreciate eggs more than any other thing on the planet, because it reminds them of life on the eggbid home plane. Here the skellybots have discovered Pisanki, traditional Polish easter eggs. Wax is used to create intricate patterns and the eggs are then dyed to create the design. As true method researchers, they are, in essence, becoming the egg. BECOME THE EGG.

Entry Text: in the year 1511 Michelangelo painted the Creation of Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. In the year 3511, The Skellybots were compelled to create "The Powering of Bot". (Actually, One of the bots and some service eggbids got stuck in a parachute and were trying to get assistance from another bot relaxing/out of battery on a trash heap...electrocution happened merely by accident but still powered up the uncharged bot. Truly a beautiful moment. )
