Napalm sticks to kids

Robot Has Biological Brain:

The robot, named Gordon, is not exactly an Einstein but represents a remarkable bridging of the gap between biology and technology. Gordon relies a dish with about 60 electrodes to pick up electrical signals generated by the brain cells.

The brain drives the robot's movements.

Every time the robot nears an object, signals are directed to stimulate the brain by means of the electrodes, the researchers explained in a statement released today by the University of Reading in England. In response, the brain's output drives the robot's wheels left and right, so that it moves around in an attempt to avoid hitting objects.

The robot has no additional control from a human or a computer, the scientists state. Its sole means of control is from its own brain.

That's just great. We're eventually going to be overrun by ratborgs. Thanks a lot ya Limey bastards.

It's the 7th annual observance of Dirt Day ladies and gentlemen. I've made some 2008 updates to the traditional list.

Today is everyone's favorite tree hugging holiday. That’s right boys and girls. It’s Dirt Day. And here are a few of my ways to help celebrate.

Things to do for Dirt Day.

1. Use nothing but styrofoam cups. And don't reuse them just keep using new ones.

2. Buy a newspaper just to throw it out. A newspaper used to be this gigantic paper like device that people would receive their news from.

3. Instead of putting on your brakes at stop lights just rev your car in neutral. (Too expensive)

4. Change your kids' disposable diapers like every 30 minutes. If you don’t have kids buy some diapers and put them on your dog.

5. Go to the store and buy the industrial size aerosol can of Aqua-Net Super Hold go into the parking lot and just keep your finger on the nozzle until the can is empty.

6. Throw plastic shopping bags and six pack holders directly into the ocean.

7. Start a trash fire.

8. Hammer copper nails into trees.

9. Pour used motor oil directly into the storm drain.

10. Smoke non-filtered cigarettes. Smoke a lot of filtered cigarettes or just by a carton of cigarettes, tear off the filters and throw them out your car window.

11. Eat Mexican food.

12. Start a tire fire.

13. Tell anyone that wears Patchouli that it smells like fertilizer.

14. Litter like you've never littered before.

15. Charcoal grill some steaks. That will piss of two different hippy groups.

16. Buy a tree just to cut it down then toss it in a gas powered chipper shredder.

17. Throw red paint on one of those dorky hybrid cars. Unless its red then use purple paint.

18. You and a friend have a quick draw competition at the gas pumps. (Only if your friend is paying)

19. Tell Ed Begley Bono Al Gore "You suck". and that he's wrong

20. When you see a tree hugger smoking pot tell them that their smoke is harmful to the ozone.

21. Burn an unopened copy of 'An Inconvenient Truth'.

Feel free to add your own.
