There’s something to be said about robots and how they can definitely be used to make our lives better. Like this mute quadriplegic who was able to scratch an itch by himself for the first time in 10 years. Imagine not being able to scratch an itch! I would go nuts. Then there are those robotic creations that I am just not so sure about. Like this robot mouth created by professor Hideyuki Sawada from Kagawa University in Japan. There really is no better description than that – robot mouth. The robot is a mouth. A robot mouth. I am still feeling the remnants of my freaking out as I Read more »

Here’s Your Solution to “Inhumane” Killing of Animals for Food: Poop Burger
I am sure you have heard/encountered some people who think that one shouldn’t eat meat because it’s taking advantage of animals. Political correctness aside, I see some flaws in their arguments, but I will not get into that here. (There is, of course, the argument that raising animals for food contributes largely to the problem of greenhouse gases.) Instead, I propose a solution which may or may not ruin your appetite. It’s easy enough for non-carnivores to take the stand that real animal meat should not be consumed. For those who like their meat, though, actually foregoing meat is a totally different matter. Enter Mitsuyuki Ikeda, a Japanese scientist who Read more »
Baby Gaga Ice Cream: All Natural and Free-Range
I don’t know about you, but rare is the moment that I will say no to ice cream. Gelato, soft ice cream, and ice cream on crepes – I will almost always take you up on your offer if it’s all about these frozen delights (and most any other dessert). Now, food geeks know that the success of desserts rests mainly on one ingredient: milk. The quality of the milk will largely determine the quality of the ice cream. What if you use the best milk in the world? Human breast milk, that is. You may be gagging from the mere thought of eating ice cream made from human breast Read more »
iPhone 4 Diamond Rose is the World’s Most Expensive Phone
Looking for the perfect gift this Christmas? Look no further – whoever receives this iPhone from you will be eternally in your debt. Stuart Hughes, renowned British jeweler, has just come up with an iPhone that will definitely stand out from the rest of the iPhones that you see yuppies, geeks, and your mom carrying around. One look at that baby, and you’ll know that something is definitely NOT normal about it! Read more »
When Pac-Man Goes Wrong
Wait – is that even possible? How can you go wrong with Pac-Man? We’ve seen some of the coolest pieces of merchandise following the Pac-Man theme, but who would have thought that there is some really bad (in the original sense) stuff out there? I came across a collection of the 10 Absolutely Horrible Pieces of Pac-Man Merchandise earlier, and boy, do I have to agree with the writer! Read more »
“Get A Geek in Five Easy Lessons” – FAIL?
Girls who want to “get” a geek, you might learn a thing or two from Leslie Sobon’s post at AMD – or NOT. In her post, she outlines five “easy lessons” on how to bag one of them tech guys that you have been eyeing. Now you can just click on that link and get started on your lessons. This could be the end of my post. Then again, I don’t think I can just sit here and not say anything. Now, don’t get me wrong – I could very well be one of the last ones to go all gung ho about feminism/sexism – but there is something about Read more »
Feel Like Watching a Tween Comedy? Check Out BSG – NOT!
The next time you feel like watching a tween comedy – for whatever reason, I will not even try to understand – why don’t you try this TV series called Battlestar Galactica? Take a close look at that image and you’ll see that reputable “San Francisco Chronicle(?)” hails it as a “good –hearted tween comedy.” Seriously, WTF? Where I come from, pirated DVDs are commonplace, and I am surprised that I never came across one that looks just like this particular version. Not that I am promoting the creation and purchase of these illegal items, but they do have their uses. Just take one more look at the back of Read more »
The Best Use of Louis Vuitton Products You'll See All Week
There’s something totally wrong about Louis Vuitton and it’s not particularly the price tag. Who cares about price tags when there’s Dubai and hopefully soon Marvel Land or the huge amount of counterfeit articles making LV accessible to anyone who wants to inflate their own ego with some cheap fashion. The main problem with LV though is when men start using it as a ‘man bag’. Big was my surprise around 4 minutes ago when I finally saw a smart use of Louis Vuitton fabric: create bugs in LV design!. Yes, bugs. Sculptures actually but what’s in a name? Kyoto-based artist Mitsuhiro Okamoto set out and created 9 different sculptures, Read more »
NPB To ThinkGeek: Pork Is The ONLY "Other White Meat"
We all know about ThinkGeek and their proclivity for playing practical jokes on their readers. You know, the kind that has enough touch of reality that you just might fall for it. One of their latest pranks was to advertise canned Unicorn Meat on April Fool’s. You probably heard about it, but I don’t know a single person – not even the most gullible person I know – who would fell for it. Come on, some of us live in a world of fantasy half the time but we know that unicorns aren’t real! Read more »
The JEJEMON Phenomenon: do U~ speak lyK~ ThIs, n0H?
My country, the Philippines is experiencing the JEJEMON Phenomenon. Jejemon (n): Usually seen around social networking sites such as Friendster and Multiply, jejemons are individuals Hu LyK 2 TyP LyK diZS jejejeje; Jejemonn (n): Anyone with a low tolerance in correct punctuation, syntax and grammar. Jejemons are usually hated or hunted down by Jejebusters or the grammar nazi to eradicate their grammatical ways. Jejemon (n): an offshoot of the subculture popularity of Pokemon and while the latter means “pocket monsters”; Jejemons are often seen as “Jejeje monsters” for their ability to turn off and annoy people with their “foreign” style of writing.
