Yes, Steve is real, but i prefer to think of Steve in a more metaphysical sense, that is, Steve lives inside all of us, so give him lots of beer, that's what he likes, and if he doesn't get it, he's likely to tunnel out to go to the store, and that hurts, plus, he'll steal your wallet, and take your car.
2. Is Steve a robot?
Answer
Of course not, no one on this earth would build something so monstrous, with such capacity for pure, malignant evil, and also, Steve would have to have been built over two hundred years ago, as even in the seventeen hundreds, technology had advanced to a state capable of creating something more functional, and much, much less ugly, also, robots don't have BO.
3. Why Does Steve Refer to Himself in the Third Person?
Answer
This is one of the few things Steve has in common with the normal, human population, he strives to distance himself from Steve. I mean, if you were Steve, would YOU admit it? Christ no, you'd have to be retarded.
