Korean robot dog
“Petting the machine’s head, back or flank, or giving it a ball will distort its features into a happy expression. The robot is capable of navigating its way around obstacles in its path. Dasatech’s 40-member team has invested three years of research into completing the robot, which contains 17 small motors and a [...]

Pac Man’s Pirate Ghost

Besides my obsession with peeps, I also have a bit of a Pac Man fever. Just seeing this sculpture made me smile, but reading the title left me rolling with laughter on the floor. The title: “Eat Me, You Fat Yellow Bastard” leaves so much to the imagination. However, it also reminded me of something [...]

Tongue in cheek

This headline made me look twice, “Scientists Probe the Use of the Tongue”
Technorati tag: tongue

One giant leap

Over the past year or so I have seen a significant decrease in the amount of spending money that I have left over every month. As a matter of fact the “walking around money” that I used to have was at least significant enough to buy a couple of meals out once in a [...]

My kind of tattoo

Part of this tattoo is done with blacklight reactive ink. The black outline is still in regular ink, but all the glowing bits are the reactive ink. This is definitely one that I could hide from my mother. This one was done by Richie. From Random Good Stuff.
Now if they could just figure out [...]

From sexy car to sexy couch

There have been oh so many truly sexy American cars - Corvette, Mustang, Cobra, etc. Sexy American cars are as American as apple pie. Which somehow brings me to the back seats of sexy cars, which is where most people end up eventually. Sexy cars have some really sexy back seats just made for [...]

Since I never took chemistry in school, I am at a loss most of the time regarding mixing chemicals. However, I find it just fascinating when someone else finds some way of mixing common household products to come up with something useful (like borax and sugar for killing bugs). Along those same lines the folks [...]

Two Sided Spreader

Why oh why didn’t I think of this? Although, I would have given it a much better name. The name “Two Sided Silicone Spreader” leaves a lot to be desired. It also leaves a lot to the imagination - some of them involving Real Dolls (NSFW).

Too many peeps = Diorama

Easter is over, but what do you do with all those leftover peeps? Write a book? Make a movie? Take them to the library. Eat them?
Some people decided to create a diorama, and to enter it into a contest. The prizes for the contest were, appropriately, toothbrushes. The third annual Pioneer Press Marshmallow Peeps [...]

Putting Oklahoma on the map

I have lived in Oklahoma off and on over the years, but I always understood the limitations. The main, and most frustrating limitation, of living here is the fact that it is so hard to go to an event here. If you are wanting to go to a seminar or conference you have to [...]
