Bozo Sapien

When hibernating or evading capture, the Bozo Sapien appears grey and drab. Note the pale skin and tightly curled red hair.

When hunting, however, the Bozo Sapien's nose, hands, and feet become engorged with blood and swell up. The neck frill extends along with the red afro. The skin takes on a colorful irridescent sheen, to lure in the Bozo Sapien's primary food source: Children and small pets.

Evil VHS Tape

With the rapid obsolescence of technology, accursed media such as the 'Evil Tape' will soon no longer pose a threat.

At present, only poor people and luddites are at risk of falling victim to the Evil VHS Tape. Soon these Evil tapes will go the way of the Demonic 8 Track.

Pythalligator !

The deadly Pythalligator - Part Python, Part Alligator: All Florida!

Due to the population explosion of Burmese Pythons in the Florida Everglades, we've seen an Alligator eat a python, and a Python eat an alligator (and then explode).

But I think it's only a matter of time before they settle their differences long enough to spawn a hideous scaly lovechild.

Fem-bots at last

The geniuses at Kokoro Dreams have created the Actroid,
"A female-type reception robot... bearing a striking resemblance to a woman with a good command of four languages".

The Actroid can speak and understand conversations in English, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese.

The actroid comes in Renee Zellweger 'Down with Love' style:


And sexy leather clad Catherine Zeta Jones style:

But be warned: "She will be dissappointed and sulky if she is mocked".

And then she'll tell her brother:

I'm sure with their smart and sexy fem-bots, Kokoro Dreams will be very successful, and then they can create what they call "Fun-Fun Robot World" filled with friendly robots like this:

FLAVOR: Reverse Strawberry Pocky
NOTES: Another tasty addition to the Reverse Pocky family! This Pocky is so rare I could not even find a picture of it online, so I had to take my own.

While looking for pictures of this online, I came across MORE NEW flavors of pocky! There seem to be 2 new kinds of Decorer (White Chocolate and Strawberry) and 2 new kinds of Mousse (Custard Fondu and Chocolat Chaud).

Robot infested M&M's coming soon!

Scientists at Darthmouth have built the world's smallest mobile robot.

At 60 x 250 micrometers, "About 200 of these could march in a line across
the top of a plain M&M."

That's right - soon all of our delicious M&M chocolate candies will be SWARMING WITH TINY ROBOTS !

The tiny robots wait in Abe Lincoln's beard for an M&M

In an unexpected move, M&M is retaliating by creating GIANT M&M's.

They also offer custom M&Ms, as you can see...oh no! It's too late!

Robot vs. Ninja...Photos!

I've had a Flickr account for a while now, but haven't really explored it's potential for things other than free hosting for pictures.

The Flickr Blog is always posting about really neat things, so I've added it to my 'Blogs I Dig' list on the side there.

They also have a 'Flickr Tag Fight' feature that runs off Tags.

Tags are descriptive comments people add to their pictures. With the Tag Fight, you can enter two tags into search fields and see which one dominates.

Of course I had to try this with ROBOT vs NINJA.

AND THE WINNER IS...

Monday's Comic - Robot! vs. Ninja! Round #38

I'm not crazy! Part II

In the 22nd century, war was waged with mechanized warriors. Man had finally found a way to make war with minimal loss of human life. It was a good concept until the machines united and turned their fury on their creators. It is the year 2148 - the METAL WARS have ended - machines battled man, and the machines won.

Out of the ashes of defeat came JONATHAN POWER, humanity's last hope of defeating the BIO-DREAD warriors led by the evil LORD DREAD. Captain Jonathan Power and a devoted band of freedom fighters are all that stands between Dread and the final destruction of mankind.

That is the story of none other than CAPTAIN POWER and the SOLDIERS OF THE FUTURE.

That's right, the TV show that everyone tried to convince me I was making up.

Well, it's real, it has cool toys, videos, and video clips.

CAPTAIN POWER aired back in 1987, and was written by J. Michael Straczynski (Babylon 5).


For those that don't remember, or tried to convince me I was crazy, CAPTAIN POWER was an action show for kids that used an interactive light gun toy. You could battle with friends, just like LASER TAG.

But that's not all - if you held up the gun/ship to the TV during an episode or video, the bad guys in the show could blast your pilot right out of your ship!



The Soldiers of the Future were a 5 man team, each with a special suit of power armor (much like the Centurions) . Each member had a special ability and suit, and personality - much like G-Force or Voltron or any 5 guy sci-fi team.

My favorite element of the show was the computer generated characters, the BIO-DREADS.

These villainous robots would 'digitize' people - sort of like beaming someone up in Star Trek, but very painful and traumatic. The 'digitized' people would be stored in a computer.

I wonder how many digitized people would fit in an i-pod ?

The show was very ambitious, in that it was pretty well written, in depth, had good production values, incorporated CGI characters, and had an interactive toy line.

The look of the show was great, too - a real mixture of Terminator, Voltron, and even the Borg from Star Trek.

I would go into greater depth, but the links above are very thorough and well done.

So now you know I'm not crazy. Just like the last time...
