This one’s done by Rachel Stevens.

You know, I think they’re on to something here. Instead of the usual PSAs where we get bombarded with statistics by pompous ugly people, they should just have hot chicks in their underwear telling us to exercise more, eat greens, recycle and generally make the world a Better Place(tm).

I’m fairly certain that would be more effective.

Zombie dogs

Posted on by

US Researchers have managed to drain the blood from a dog, replace it with a saline solution, thereby officially killing the dog and then, using electric shocks, oxygen and replacing the blood, bring it back to life… several times. Apparently none the worse for wear. They want to use this technology to store soldiers with serious injuries, so they can be fixed whilst they’re dead and then reanimated…
Is this going to open gateways from other dimensions into our own world? Have the researchers thought about that?

Agriculture is the root of all evils

Posted on by

To science we owe dramatic changes in our smug self-image. Astronomy taught us that our earth isn’t the center of the universe but merely one of billions of heavenly bodies. From biology we learned that we weren’t specially created by God but evolved along with millions of other species. Now archaeology is demolishing another sacred belief: that human history over the past million years has been a long tale of progress. In particular, recent discoveries suggest that the adoption of agriculture, supposedly our most decisive step toward a better life, was in many ways a catastrophe from which we have never recovered. With agriculture came the gross social and sexual inequality, the disease and despotism, that curse our existence.

Huckapoo!

Posted on by

It’s sounds to me like a word for describing the act of coughing up feces, but no – it’s the name of a manufactured girl group targeting 8-year olds with a significantly sub-average IQ. Hey, it’s a HUUUGE segment, right, don’t diss this shit!

Check out the awesomeness that is Huckapoo here. Turn the volume down if you’re at work, or people just might start buying you Barbie dolls for your next birthday..

Radosh.net has an excellent summary right here. Actually, read that first. Background here.

Darknet

Posted on by

Anyone with an interest in how our digital freedoms are being whittled away, how the music, movie and television landscapes are about to change forever, or how a new, empowered generation of users (mostly young people) see media differently than the older crowd, would benefit from marking up their copy of Darknet (bring two yellow markers). As the author [says], “Media will change more in the next five years than it has in the past 50 years.”

The darknet site has some excerpts from the book itself on it, and they are well written, lucid and interesting.

Japan wants robo moonbase

Posted on by

TOKYO — Japan wants to help build a lunar base and populate it with advanced versions of today’s humanoid robots by around 2025, according to the head of the nation’s space agency.

The idea is more than a pipe-dream; it is part of a 20-year plan, called JAXA Vision 2025, that was drawn up by Keiji Tachikawa, a former president of Japan’s largest mobile operator NTT DoCoMo, who is now president of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency(JAXA).
