Although I’d love to be able to scan in my entire collection of comic books and take them everywhere I go, I just don’t have the time or patience.

If, like Zaphod Beeblebrox, you’ve been looking for a way to impress Earth chicks and do better at exotic (i. e. extra-galactic) sports, it might be worth getting yourself fitted with a third arm.

Shopping robots aren't totally unheard of from a global perspective, but we certainly haven't seen too many out and about in NY boutiques.

France: it's like Canada, only with less hockey, and more boring mechanical spiders. Those hosers have foisted this amazingly-styled and yet utterly dull "La Princesse" piece of street theater on the innocent, unsuspecting people of Liverpool, and the travesty is set to continue for another couple of days.

Yesterday commuters arrived at Lime Street to find a gigantic mechanical spider clinging to a derelict building next to the station. A group of French specialist researchers announced that they had been observing the creature, apparently made of steel and wood and a thousand times the size of anything in nature, for weeks.

Not that I know anything about real estate, but I’m guessing that one of the reasons that houses are so expensive is that they require a lot of hands-on work by a bunch of skilled (and expensive) humans.

It’s finally September. FINALLY. As of now, I am effectively unemployed, and can spend every waking moment living, breathing, and getting probed by robots.

In what could be, but hopefully isn’t, a once in a lifetime opportunity, TechShop in San Francisco is offering a comprehensive course in combat robot construction.

Although I don’t want to believe that the world will have turned into some sort of battleground by 2045, I DO want to believe that we’ll have giant robots beating the nuts out of each other by then.

Nope, we aren't sensationalizing anything -- that creature you see above really has made the streets of Liverpool its home. According to an in-the-know tipster, it's reportedly going to be stalking citizens and making all sorts of ruckus, possibly the kind involving pyrotechnics.
