Silly boys and girls. I've used 3.5 billion years of evolution to
develop self-regenerating tri-jointed extensions at the end of my limbs
which I can use to count up to ten. My researchers are hard at work on a
new breakthrough, and, if it pans out, I'll be counting _up to twenty_
in a matter of weeks.
