Robot Love Revisited

So, not *that* long ago I wrote something about the possibilities (and problems) of having a robot boyfriend (check the archive if you're interested). Anyway, it seems that the Japanese are swiftly working on making this a reality. Check out this interesting article about cuddly robots in Japan taken from my new favourite online source Intelligent Life. Astroboy, Ifbots, Daleks... all the very best in robotica...

Indiana Jones was a Gay Kraut

So says the Daily Sport - my latest discovery (file under: more reasons to love the UK for all the wrong reasons).

The Sport is an enigma in newspaper circles, the website offers nothing in the way of content except perhaps for this oblique manifesto. Believe me, the site does not do justice to the real thing - a newspaper which has boldly decided to excise all the bits that make newspapers boring (and we're talking TABLOID newspapers here, so you know, you connect the dots...) and just focus on the good stuff: the stories about people doing stupid things, freaky things, dirty things, sport, and page three girls. So visionary is the Daily Sport that they've decided to run a page three girl on EVERY page. The Daily Sport could be retitled "Tits, Tits, Topless Talent, Tennis Players' Arses, Football Coverage: back page." Laaahhhvvv it!
