The Blob Bot

This is cool.

The bot, which was shown off at the EEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems this week, has a silicone skin, and moves by selectively inflating and deflating parts of its spherical body. But the locomotion system entails more than simple puffing and rolling: The video explains the "particle jamming" system of locomotion, "a mechanism by which material can transition from a liquid-like to a solid-like state."

Maybe it can be used to make morphing masks? Weapon arm attachments that morphs at will?

Fellatio, Swallowing Semen Can Cure Breast Cancer(?)

Are they serious?

"The results of a research study by the North Carolina State University from 2003 show that women who perform fellatio (or “blowjob” in colloquial language) and swallow semen regularly, one to two times a week, may reduce their risk of breast cancer by up to 40 percent."

Besides reproduction, sex has always been proven as healthy. But fellatio?

Arcades

Nostalagia post.

Was reading a post on the forum I frequent. They were talking about arcades.

What happened to them? Now only big shopping malls have them, and usually they don't have much games except bigger machines like DDR, on-rails-shooting, racing. Shoot em ups, beat em ups and fighting games has become much less.

Back in the day, I used to frequent the arcades. Boy was it fun. Except the second hand smoking of course.

Listing out which games at the arcades are my favourite would be like trying to list out what are my favourite food. Off the top of my head, favs would be the Street Fighter games, Metal Slug and KOF series. Yeah, I'm quite the fighting game nut.

Ever since arcades almost went extinct (blame consoles), I haven't really been to one and play in it (Except that one time, of course). Mostly just have a look as to what games they have, while waiting for the schedule movie to start.


This. Definitely this, I want to try before I die. The Mobile Suit Gundam: Bonds of the Battlefield game.
