"Still, though, it is fascinating how adeptly this robot captures the gait of an actual four-legged animal and, one supposes, the giant claw could be useful around the house, for washing dishes or murdering the mailman."

Must see video

Anyone seen the related Black Mirror episode? One of the most unnerving things I have ever seen.

If the Wyoming volcano were to erupt an estimated 87,000 people would be killed immediately and two-thirds of the USA would immediately be made uninhabitable.

The large spew of ash into the atmosphere would block out sunlight and directly affect life beneath it creating a "nuclear winter".

Nearly three-quarters of Americans age 17 to 24 are ineligible for the military due to obesity, other health problems, criminal backgrounds or lack of education, according to government data.

75% .. wow.  That's a lot of Arby's.

As Ron White said when asked what he was doing to help prevent global warming, "I'm eating the cows."

Andrei (and TAMU) are excellent at parsing through complex statistical data and producing interesting, meaningful blog pieces. I hope one "dumb and dangerous" whiff-job doesn't curtail future write-ups.

If you want to see perhaps the worst movie ever check out Hobo With A Shotgun starring Rutger Hauer.
