You Found My What?

1. You Found My What?
In 1947, Joan Barnes had her coat and wallet stolen. 60 years later the wallet was returned. The money was long gone, however.

Robot Snow Eater

2. Robot Snow Eater
The Japanese are at it again. They've invented an autonomous robot that eats snow off the roads and poops out ice cubes. Not only awesome, also very cute.

I Was Just Really Warm

3. I Was Just Really Warm
William N. Barret III pleads not guilty to accusations of stripping naked and masturbating in a ski lift gondola in Vermont. I'm betting that William N. Barret II is ashamed of his son.

Survival of the Fizziest

A tribute to the extinct soft drinks from years of old.

Sleepy Sloth

5. Sleepy Sloth
Another entry in what I hope to be a long video series of cute baby animals falling asleep.

144 - Robots

Telecommute

1. Telecommute
Hiroshi Ishiguro is so lazy, he had a robot version of himself built so he could send it to work for him while he stayed at home watching this.

PKD Lost His Head

2. PKD Lost His Head
David Hanson left his luggage in the overhead compartment. This luggage contained the head of a Phillip K. Dick robot he built. I can't find out if he ever found it or not. In related news, Giamatti is the perfect choice for the role.

Robot Bith Simulator

3. Robot Birth Simulator
Totally gross and hot at the same time..

Cornking

4. Cornking
The beginning of the end. As foreseen by Nostradamus.

The year of a right hand lion's last stand
A left hand land of kings will rise from 8 years defeat
The taste of pork will reveal the automaton's desire
Never to be satiated until God's children end

Tempbot

5. Tempbot
A short film by Neill Blomkamp, the guy who is supposed to direct the Halo movie. Based on this and his other short, Alive in Joburg, I think he would do a good job.

1. Red Buttons: Dead
One of the last few remaining redheads is now gone. If this trend continues there will be no more natural redheads left on the planet by the year 2100.

Some kind of fancy-pants, flash based, time-waster based loosely on the artwork of Jackson Pollock. Click the mouse to change colors. Move faster for thinner lines.

3. Test Tube Baby Baby
The first human being ever created through in vitro fertilization recently got pregnant the old-fashioned way (by doing it.)

Some grad students or whatever have too much time and money. If only they could figure out how to run my car off goldfish power. They have to be cheaper by the gallon than gas is right now.

5. Luchador
Curster loves sewing and also loves monsters. What more do you need to know?

1. Leia's Metal Bikini
This should be very sexy. Unfortunately, most of these women look pretty much exactly the way you'd expect someone dressing up at a sci-fi convention to look.

Paralyzed man operates computer with the power of his mind. Eat your heart out Uri Gellar.

3. Evil Bible
Commit all this to memory.

Similar to the Internet Movie Data Base (IMDB) but focusing on authors and their books. As most of the information is user submitted, there may be some errors or missing titles, but it is still a pretty good resource.

5. Wee-Woo
More ammunition in my on going battle to prove that starlings are not really all that bad.
