> [@rucciface](#): > > Have a good weekend. Also, I need to clarify my answer on #2 (post 24)…It was supposed to be “Mother, from the film Psycho”…not just Mother, 'cause that’s quite a cheat. I thought you meant Mother, the computer in _Alien_, which would have been a great answer, and the question is non-specific enough that I think it would be acceptable. ---
