Robo scallop

I'm not sure what to make of robo scallop but according to the first sentence it both sucks and blows "alternately sucking and blowing". That's just gold, how can some serious science writer make such a hash of a Simpsons quote. The real quote goes "I didn't think it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows." Well anyway, the technology itself actually looks pretty cool and uses some kind of super scallop to effectively deliver drugs to specific targets within the body. Plus it doesn't have batteries or anything but uses the soothing sounds of loudspeakers (preferably playing James Brown) to navigate its way through the body. The more I read this article the more I think its a hoax, if it isn't then its just damned funny.

Flying cars are back

I constantly dream of the day when flying cars will cause serious accidents in our skies each and every day. Think of the possibilities, imagine how bad a bus accident would be with a flying bus. The thing would first smash into something at 250 mph, and then fall out of the sky crushing all those who were potentially alive. Amazing stuff, so if you want a Flying car then go for it. This company doesn't even have a prototype or anything, just a 1/5 scale model. Quick invest now and you could make millions.

Yarrrgh"How Pirates Work"

I didn't think pirates worked at all. Instead all they do is plunder ships and sit around drinking rum while festy monkeys attack them and infect them with rabies. Plus you must at all times wear an eyepatch regardless of whether you can see correctly or not. Well its not quite true as this "How Pirates Work" article attempts to explain. Everyone wants to be a pirate right? Well its not all gold bullion and swashbuckling, but somehow becoming a pirate still looks like a bit of fun.

Bush v Merkel

If you were George W Bush, how would you act? With solemn dignity at all public occasions? Maybe with a friendly handshake for all those world leaders you meet everyday? Well maybe not, maybe you'd walk straight up to the german chancellor and go for the olde texan massage. Surely not! Well check out this fine recount of the story and you too will have another reason to intensly dislike GW. The german press is up in arms about GW's antics, but are unable to strike as the chancellor is too relaxed.

Worst logos ever

You know those logos that are like double logos. No, hang on, this isn't about that its about bodgy logos. There are a couple of really bad ones in there, along with a bunch of links to some additional ones if you are super curious. I also took this nice one in Japan, sorry about the quality of the photo, it was a quick snap on a train but still its pretty damned funny.

Miss Prison 2006

Amongst the many, many sites on the net that allow you to vote for stuff comes Miss Prison 2006. Giving you the opportunity to vote on who from Des Moines' Polk County Jail is the best prison gal behind bars. Yeah, I know everyone else is blogging about this too, but sometimes you just gotta steal some good ideas from people and write about them as your own. Surely, I cannot be prosecuted for theft of blogging ideas, no Mr. President, Nooooooooooo!

Chimp & Pacman

Surely not, you ask in amazement, how can a chimp possibly ever conjure up the brainpower to play pacman? Well its all revealed here in this pacman and Chimp video which clearly demonstrates that videogames are not only for the human population of this planet. Look at that curious look on his face, look at the supreme control of pacman and the way he gathers up all the dots. Surely scientific research has never accomplished anything as great as this!

Aaah neural implants

I wish I had some kind of neural implants. Then I could control my fridge with my mind and get it to stock up on imported beer and bacon. Well that seems to be the gist of this technology where they get disabled people to control computers with their minds. If this sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie (with arnie as the lead) then think again, because its closer than ever. Soon we'll all be controlling stuff with our minds, like our arms and legs and maybe even our mouths and lips. Imagine the endless possibilities. You could sing songs and dance and maybe even try to take over the world.

Surely the technology ca nonly have evil purposes. People are no doubt going to hook themselves up to a robot army of destruction, all controlled through the power of their minds.

Bacon for breakfast?

A lot of people eat bacon for breakfast, but how many of them eat bacon cereal? Well here is an exciting and simple recipe that will ensure your days of eating boring, cold cereal are over. Instead you get plenty of juicy, nutritious bacon and a whole bottle of dressing. Does that sound good? Well it better because that's all I'm eating from now on.

Thanks Mike!

Breakdancing With Mr. T!

Aaaah Mr. T is there anything you can't do. Well now Breakdancing will forever be linked to Mr. T. and all you other suckaz can pity the fool that doesn't like Mr T's dancing. So quit the craziness and get funky with Mr T. Its the ideal plan for a Friday afternoon.

The Marijuana Conspiracy

This article attempts to explain The Marijuana Conspiracy or the real reason pot is illegal. Personally I disagree with a lot of what they've got to say. I mean seriously they claim that pot would ruin other major corporations business because they wouldn't get in on the act. What a load of crap, clearly these major corporations are the ones who are most likely to profit from a legalisation of pot because they would be best placed to produce large quantities quickly and market it effectively. So read the article yourself and pick some more holes in their wacky theories. Get it, wacky theories, gold!!!

We almost died this morning!

Yes, world, almost every single one of was wiped out this morning. We were within 433,000 kilometres of being wiped out by a giant asteroid. That's only slightly further out than the moon! So see how close we came to a fiery explosive death and you'll be amazed that somehow life still exists on this planet. Actually according to my records there is a whole bunch of times throughout history that life has been almost wiped out by giant asteroids and each time bacteria and algae and stuff have survived enabling life to repopulate in new and exciting ways. Interesting, eh?

Operation to remove light bulb from inmate's ass

The title of this story really says it all. Operation to remove light bulb from inmate's ass takes the cake for one of the best titles this year. I also like the fact that the guy has no idea how it got there and that he said "When I woke up I felt a pain in my lower abdomen, but later in hospital, they told me this," Mohammad said." Like it was all some miracle intervention or something.

robot in the world glory!

Yes, the engrish is not that great, but in fact they are actually opening a robot museum in Nagoya Japan. Soon these robots will be freed from their evil biological parents and will be able to roam the world exterminating at will and crush, killing and destroying. Well that's one theory, a more accurate one might be that the robots will all get their killbot functions disabled so the nice humans can spend their time gazing stupidily at their timeless splendour. You take your pick.
