Interviewer: What would you say is your biggest weakness?
Applicant: Probably that I'm a giant tangle of parts that don't always work right, so I can die easily.
Interviewer: Biggest strength?
Applicant: There will come a day when I'm either an ancesotr to ALL living humans, or to NONE of them.
Interviewer: Where do you see yourself in five years?
Applicant: Probably not the ancestor of all living humans yet. But you never know!
