Ain’t love grand. From the twisted mids that brought you the reality TV joy that is “Jon & Kate Plus 8” comes a new show about polygamists.

The show’s description states that “Sister Wives” “captures the intense dynamics surrounding a man juggling three wives while attempting to keep it a secret from the outside world.”

Oh those wacky Mormons!

Things That Make Me Drink – Telenoid R1
We all love robots, don’t we? Decades of science fiction books and movies have led us to believe that robots are the greatest things ever invented (or to be invented) . Sadly, reality hasn’t managed to keep up with our vivid and romantic visions because real world robots are nothing more then creepy little dolls that look like they’ve hopped out of a bad horror novel with the sole purpose of eating your soul.
This robot is no exception.
Meet Telenoid R1, a big white, limbless blob of a machine, created by Hiroshi Ishiguro.
The main function of this robot, besides scaring little children for life, and making me believe there is no God, is to act as a interactive telephone of sorts, where two people in different locations can talk to each other through two Telenoids, with each Telenoid theoretically mimicking the tone and face of the other speaker.
Well, that should put a stop to all unnecessary communication as the very thought of looking at this thing moving it’s creepy ”Steven King’s wet dream” face makes me want to curl up in the corner of the room and softly cry myself to sleep.
“I need brain bleach” bonus thought: How long before someone adjusts this for phone sex?
Ugh, I’m going to get myself plastered now and hope the images fade away…
Enjoy the video…

You can file this one under ”No shit Dick Tracy”.

The hen’s owner, Liu Yong, a local fisherman says that bird has pretty much been like this since ”childhood” (chickhood?), waddling around the yard like it’s the South Pole, and that it’s weird behavior has had an impact on the bird’s social life, since the other chicken are too freaked out to hang around her.
Such is the price for being different…
