You know, I had always thought that everyone on Battlestar Galactica calling Cylons "toasters" all the time was just some sort of derogatory term for their robot enemies. It turns out though that the term comes from the evolutionary history of the cybernetic race that is so fond of human genocide. According to this chart, the earliest form of the Cylon was indeed a toaster. Over time, these toasters evolved, they grew wheels, then learned to walk on two legs. They developed machine gun hands and learned how to build spaceships and nukes. Then, eventually they became the Cylons we know today. Hot women in skimpy outfits.
To go from a toaster to Tricia Helfer in such a short time is amazing. This surely must be proof that the Cylons are a far more evolved species than we are.
