So Boston Dynamics released video of their newest project called Big Dog. It's a very large quadroped robot that is freakishly life like. To the point where I want to punch the guy in the head who kicks it. Also when it slips on ice you just want to coo awwwww, poor little robot. I'm mildly freaked about this.

I haven't had a good wacko news story in a while. They must have been saving up for this one. From Yahoo! News.

This guy has his leg amputated after a plane crash or something. Doesn't want to part with the leg. It's important enough for him to keep for "religious reasons"

So where does he store it? Wrapped in cloth, in a smoker (the kind you cook ( Read more... )

I think the city trying to gain restitution from these two is awful. Yeah it's expensive to have to investigate a possible crime, but they didn't break any laws and being charged with "Breach of Peace" is just ridiculous.
