The humans had been missing for months. Robots anxiously gathered in the streets

- I think they went on lunch break, said one
- For six months? Don't be ridiculous, replied another
- One mentioned something about ice cream, said a third
- Ice cream? Not your typical lunch break then
- Will you stop talking about lunch break?

Years, decades, centuries went by. They build a robot civilisation with the most brilliant AIs

And yet the lunch break rumour never quite died out
