Boilerplate is a fictional Victorian erarobot, said to be "a mechanical man developed by Professor Archibald Campion during the 1880s and unveiled at the 1893World's Columbian Exposition". It supposedly met its fate in 1918 when it was listed as missing in action in World War I. The Boilerplate website became a minor Internet phenomenon in 2002, and is still used by educators to highlight the danger of doing online research.
CalRobert: @ktvu Bad URL (http://bit.ly/7jtEF6) gives "unable to access document", then on second attempt gives Boilerplate with no article.
asianmartin: @joelfeder That isn't an R, that's just a Boilerplate V70. V70R was after the refresh. That doesn;t even have the aero kit. @SuzanneDenbow
