…and examine your brains to feed its half-organic offspring, but those robot-making folks from AIST and Kawada Industries will NOT STOP until they succeed in making robot humanoids awesome enough to send mankind huddling in dark caves.

Amateur Russian filmmaker Alexander Semenov produced this 2.5-minute Transformers rip-off using relatively inexpensive cameras, two hours of footage, and one long month of editing. The result makes you realize something about what you’ve always thought about Micheal Bay.

One restaurant in Portugal used automated translation to translate its menu into English. This is the unintentionally hilarious result.
Communications researcher Friedhelm Hillebrand and his friends performed a very serious experiment in 1985, and by “very serious experiment,” we mean he typed random sentences and counted all the letters, spaces, and punctuation marks, and that’s it. They found that such sentences were almost always shorter than 160 characters. They also found that postcards most frequently had less than 150 characters. Maybe he also tried typing a very common sentence among his circle of friends, like “Find me in a room, naked, with a big black dildo shoved up my ass,” and even that clocked at a satisfying length. Armed with this information, he convinced his colleagues working on the then-nascent Franco-German Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) that 160 characters were more than sufficient for short messaging service. A kitten died. The End.

Rev. Lisa Vaughn, of a church in Nova Scotia, is blessing its congregations’ laptops, cellphones, and mobile devices, BUT gives no assurances regarding God’s power over worms, viruses, and software glitches.

It’s called the nasal cycle, which is the alternating obstruction of the nostrils in humans. And the obstruction switches every couple of hours.
Knocking on doors, rabidly proselytizing? It’s no longer Jehovah’s Witnesses territory, as a “new breed” of atheists who tend to “share with others their views” has arisen, and it’s sending the Witnesses’ knickers in a tight twist.
About 800,00 years ago, early European cavemen enjoyed eating children and adolescents, perhaps particularly feasting on their brains.
This was the finding of a study conducted in Spain and covered by the National Geographic. And to make it more colorful, there’s also the wax model of an early human female happily scooping out the brains of a human head. Delish!
Rare color footage of the bomb damage inflicted on London during World War II has surfaced on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the Blitz.
The dramatic footage shows the destruction of several London landmarks, including the flagship John Lewis store on Oxford Street.
The film was released Monday by Westminster Council to mark the start of the devastating German bombing campaign that began September 7, 1940, and continued until May 1941.
The film was found in the attic by the family of an air raid warden who shot it on the home movie equipment in use in the 1940s.
Moving from your old place to another can be much of a hassle. There are tons of things to think about—furniture, knick-knacks, electronic equipment, and a thousand other little items you’ve used. There’s also the severance of community ties—saying your goodbyes, especially in a tightly knit community, isn’t easy. But apart from the emotional and spiritual aspects of moving is the logistics, and finding an efficient, bullshit-free Moving Company, therefore, is the first vital step to a headache-free moving.
Before creating the character “Mr. Bean,” Rowan Atkinson had been doing the rounds performing hilarious shit for people. And perhaps one of his best performances was this “invisible drums” sketch, from around the late 1980s.

If you or a loved one is having trouble hearing things, especially during phone conversations, this is what you need: Amplified Phones. You won’t miss an important word ever again.
This is a video footage of a “test” done by Kodak in 1922, to see how the then-new Two-Color Kodachrome film works.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_RTnd3Smy8[/youtube]
“In these newly preserved tests, made in 1922 at the Paragon Studios in Fort Lee, New Jersey, actress Mae Murray appears almost translucent, her flesh a pale white that is reminiscent of perfectly sculpted marble, enhanced with touches of color to her lips, eyes, and hair. She is joined by actress Hope Hampton modeling costumes from The Light in the Dark (1922), which contained the first commercial use of Two-Color Kodachrome in a feature film. Ziegfeld Follies actress Mary Eaton and an unidentified woman and child also appear.

LMAO, a hilarious interactive musical comedy revue, can now be enjoyed off-Broadway at the newly renovated 200 seat Midtown Theater in Times Square. For those who aren’t aware of them, LMAO is a unique show that features original song and sketch comedy that changes daily.
The show is a running exploration of today’s hot topics performed through parodies. For instance, a topic can be told in the style of Twilight, Harry Potter or Dr Seuss, or even through famous personalities such Sarah Palin. Also expect hilarious spoofs of TV shows such as Dexter, Jersey Shore, Glee, American Idol, and Family Guy. The possibilities with the topics are endless, and so is the hilarity. There is no limit to the ridiculousness of the skit, and there lies the funny. One moment, a dog might be singing, the next moment, a famous celebrity “possesses†the performer, offering their opinion through the eyes of that celebrity. The effect is exceedingly funny.
The most important part of LMAO Off-Broadway is audience participation: the audience can actually decide what the topics are for every scene and song, and this open-endedness provides a recipe for unexpected hilarity. Surprisingly, the show’s highly talented cast holds well to the challenges the audience throw at them: using sharp wit and improvisation, the performers dish out uproariously funny original skits and musicals made up from scratch complete with spot on rhythm and rhymes.
As you probably know, getting “Rick Rolled” (“rickrolling“) means getting tricked into clicking on a hyperlink that’s supposedly relevant to the topic, only to be directed to the music video of Rick Astley’s “Never gonna give you up.” Now imagine what the actual Rick Roll has to put up with, everyday.
For those who are anal enough to see or observe everything even when you’re not physically there, and be able to do so as covert as possible, installing a Hidden Camera might be your first smart move. A Spy Camera can be installed anywhere. And even better, such cameras can be made to look exactly like common furniture: say, disguised as a wall clock or air purifier. You can even put one in a door’s peep hole!
