kokoro astonishingly small face
"Her astonishingly small face is capable of creating exotic facial expressions."

So I first heard the phrase "uncanny valley" on that episode of 30 Rock. Or no. I had heard it years before back when I was one or two notches higher on the dork scale, but I forgot about it. Having to prototype Furby has me thinking about robots for whatever reason and while Japan's fake girl robots aren't news I hadn't ever really looked at them before, nor read the hilarious yet kind of unsettling copy.
