What Does It All Mean, Basil? Which way is it pointing? I wish the picture had been taken from a better angle, but I see it. The Cassini Probe has given me many lovely picture posts, like this and this. This arrow shaped cloud is, alas, not directions to the party that the cool kids [...]

7 Jul, 2011 in craziest shit ever, fnord
I’ve been warning humanity of the pending robot revolution, with posts like this, and this. This robot is designed as a practice droid for dental students in (surprise) Japan. She blinks, can turn her head, react to pain, and gag. Who said that? Which one of you just said, “Sounds like the perfect woman. Can [...]

Oh Good, We’ve Taught Robots To Sing. Nothing Creepy About That.
1 Jun, 2011 in craziest shit ever, fnord
Hey Hey Hey I Feel Fantastic Ok, Teach your robot to sing, but why dress it up and put a wig on it? I bet it looks like the creator’s mother. Eewww. Anyway, I’ve warned of (german) robots who can lie, and of robots who serve ice cream (but do they serve I man?), but [...]
Mercury Orbiter MESSENGER Photographs Missing Space Probe Mariner 10 (Also orbiting Mercury).
7 Apr, 2011 in craziest shit ever, fnordNASA has sent a permanent orbiter to the planet Mercury. It’s name is MESSENGER. Every letter of that name means something, like it does in the Kabbalah. Make of that what you will. While zooming around Mercury, mapping the surface, and takingpictures, MESSENGER came across this guy in the image above. That spacecraft is the [...]
Hatsune Miku In Android Form. Note The Terrifying Shark Eyes Tracking The Butterfly. Bad Robot!
9 Mar, 2011 in craziest shit ever, fnord
You might remember an earlier post in which I showed Japanese anime songstress Hatsune Miku, as a hologram, performing live on stage. That was pretty neat, creepy. This is more creepy. It’s not that the video is amazing. It’s just a robot head (I imagine there’s more of her) but her dead shark eyes creep [...]

12 Oct, 2010 in craziest shit ever, fnord, humorhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86zPFR4R0Ko”
Gliese is the Word Hail Ants I will keep this short, Youdopia. Apparently (above) received a signal from another planet. Gliese 581g was recently discovered. The signal may be intelligent. Maybe not. If so, then refer to the picture below. Thank you. I , for one, welcome our alien overlords.
This is one of those pictures that is a matter of perfect timing. The Cassini probe has again shown what we can accomplish, when we heed our higher natures. I have shown other super awesome cool images from ’round Saturn way, because they’re breathtaking. This pic is the Coolest Ever, because it’s real, unphotoshopped, or [...]
Scientists Teach Robots To Lie, See No Downside. Craziest Shit Ever.
13 Sep, 2010 in craziest shit ever, fnordHappy Monday, Youdopia. I am pleased to announce the glorious Robot Revolution is going strong. We have now taught robots how to lie, shortly after teaching them how to feel. Skynet is sure to follow. Two scientists have published a paper about teaching roots the art of deception. Says Prof. Wagner (one of the writers): [...]
I have seen it all, Youdopia. While I was in attendance at the 240th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston, Dr Carter from Liverpool presented this mindbending product. It is dry water. It is used to absorb gases (CO2, and methane primarily) and it’s crazy. It’s not just crazy, it’s the Craziest [...]
The Earth and Moon As Seen From Mercury. Coolest Shit Ever.
23 Aug, 2010 in Coolest Shit Ever, Doodles, fnordYoudopia, that little doodle is a sweet pic of our little Earth, and our companion moon. It was shot from the orbit of Mercury. There is something so adorable about this simple arrangements of dots. I never knew that I would derive such pleasure from our Messenger probe around Mercury. I had another beautiful image [...]
Brace yourself, nerds. You are now able to feel up Princess Leia as she beseeches General Kenobi for help. Youdopia, something amazing has happened. The Japanese have developed holograms that you can TOUCH! You realize that the porn industry will be all over this. The image above shows virtual “raindrops” falling on a hand. In [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: A Kid Gets His Loose Tooth Pulled Out By A Rocket. Truly Amazingly Cool.
21 Jun, 2010 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnordThis is not for those people with teeth issues, Youdopia. Kiki, don’t watch this. It’s not gross, the kid doesn’t cry, there’s nothing evil or abusive about it. It’s just very, very, boy and if you’re not very very boy, you might want to look elsewhere. I found this video on the Instructables. What happens [...]
Craziest Shit Ever: Galileo’s Mummified Finger On Display In Florence Museum
13 Jun, 2010 in craziest shit ever, fnordAs you know, Youdopia, Galileo was one of the great minds of the Renaissance. What you may not know, and what I certainly did not know, is that Galileo’s fingers, thumb, and a toot of his, are on display. They have been for hundreds of years. Galileo died in 1642, in relative disgrace. He had [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: Ikaros Space Probe To Test Solar Sail Propulsion
18 May, 2010 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, sadhana and dharmaSince we, as a country, decided to pussy out of big time space exploration, we have to look to other countries for cool space news. Japan has developed a probe which will use a solar sail to push it through space. Photons have mass, which is why light can be trapped by the gravitational pull [...]
Here’s some cool science news, Youdopia. My years of research have paid off. Finally, people have captured an image of cobalt atoms in spin. That’s crazy. In fact, it’s the craziest shit ever. In fact, not only can scientists view the spin of an atom, but they can also change the spin as well. Quantum [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: Russian Scientists Create/Discover A New Element, Ununseptium
8 Apr, 2010 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnordI did it, youdopia. After years of struggle and research, I finally succeeded in blogging about a recently synthesized new element. I present Ununseptium.
