        lighting source for theatres.  It was a cylinder of lime heated by
        an incandescence flame and placed behind a lens or in front of a
        reflector. These "lime lights" were very bright. Thus the star
        performer was very visible as long as he stood in it. Soon, actors were
        competing to be in the easily seen limelight. And so any location where
        many can see you today is called being in the limelight.</B></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.brownielocks.com/wordorigins.html"><P align="center"><B><U><FONT face="Arial Black" color="#008000" size="5">Robot</FONT></U></B>
