Cube Stormer - The Robot that Solves Rubik's Cube
Written by The Super GeekCubeStormer II solves the Rubik's Cube puzzle faster than the human world record.
The mechanics are constructed entirely from LEGO, including four MINDSTORMS NXT kits, with the addition of a Samsung Galaxy S II smartphone running a custom Android app as the robot's brain.
This ARM Powered robot was designed, built and programmed by Mike Dobson and David Gilday, creators respectively of CubeStormer http://youtu.be/eaRcWB3jwMo and Android Speedcuber http://youtu.be/ylFb4pqAUd8.
Subaru Actually Made a Pickup Truck With Seats in the Bed, Without Seat Belts.
Who Remembers the Subaru Brat? Who Remembered Safety, Apparently Nobody!
The Subaru BRAT (an acronym for Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter) was the coupe utility version of the Subaru Leone from the 1970s. The BRAT was developed directly from the company's four-wheel drive station wagon model and was first introduced as a 1978 model.
American versions also had carpeting and welded-in rear-facing jumpseats in the cargo area—serving actually to circumvent a tariff known as the Chicken tax. Although the BRAT could fairly be called a truck, the plastic seats in the cargo bed allowed Subaru to classify the BRAT as a passenger car.
The BRAT was restyled in 1982 and the jumpseats were discontinued after the 1985 model year. The BRAT was introduced with a rise in popularity of small trucks being sold in the USA. Production continued into 1993 but ceased to be imported to North America in 1987. It was also known as the Brumby in Australia and the Subaru 284 in the UK. Imports to Europe, Australia, and New Zealand continued until February 1994. The BRAT was not sold in Japan and was manufactured for export markets.
This is what internet porn was in the 1990's
For those of you old enough to remember any of the following: a gopher site, WAIS, 127.0.0.1, Earthling, Netscape, Netcom, Compuserve, a BBS, or even AOL was, below is what was the precursor to what online porn was like.
Before DNS's or flash or even jpg images on a www were the original frontier of the internet was much different back in the 1990's than it is today. The inception of domain names other than IP addresses or flash movies and especially HTLM5 even existed, there were ASCII images.
These images were images that were constructed of ASCII characters, or for the most part keyboard characters. The equivalent of playboy centerfolds constructed of typewriter characters. In the last 20 years the internet has changed quite a bit to allow the transfer of jpg images and swf or flv or even mp4 images or better yet, youtube.
Consider this a flashback to what the equivalent of what porn was 20 years ago, on the internet.

Yeah, My Car Has Dual Front Airbags, too.
I'm thinking that this may cause more accidents than all that dual airbag protection is worth.
Looks like the new Dodge Challenger is more than we we expected.
Being as I have not seen the New Dodge Challenger in the dealer yet, I can only assume that this mistake isn't the real deal.
I imagine that some Hillbilly Dirtbag Redneck doctored up some beat up crappy ass hooptie to look like what is supposed to be the biggest release for Dodge since the Charger, or dare I say it....
.... the Viper.
Naaa. This was in New York City where I see streets littered with Cayenne Turbo's,Mercedes Maybachs and Aston Martins, almost as much as I imagine Nashville sees Darts and Novas.
Drop me a line and let me know if you think that this may actually be the Newest Coolest Most Hyped Release from this side of the pond.
Bo & Luke Duke, slide in the windows of those welded shut doors and Buckle Up.

Humans and Animals Being Hybridized
Regulators in the UK have given scientists the green light to create human-animal embryos for research.
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority granted permission after a consultation showed the public were "at ease" with the idea.
Experts said it was vital for research into life-threatening diseases.
Two centres, King's College London and Newcastle University, will now be able to begin their work under one-year research licences.
Any other centres wishing to do similar work will have to apply to the HFEA for permission, which will make a decision on a case-b-case basis
