Of this ultra fast robot he spotted at a 2010 competitive robotics event in Osaka, Japan, robotics dude Drew Noakes sez:
This machine was mind-blowingly fast and precise. Unforutunately for me, the guys demoing it barely spoke English, so I didn’t get much info on it other than it’s intended for use in positioning surface mount devices on printed circuit boards (SMD on PCB) during manufacture.
In the heavens the Pope yesterday,
Took a moment to openly say,
That the scriptures have shown,
That if you sleep alone,
Then he really can’t judge if you’re gay.

It’s been upgraded to a Brazilian wax, apparently.

“You recall the Cyprus haircut on bank deposits over €100,000. Reading between the lines, there was some small print, a lot of people missed at the time. The actual haircut was 37.5% with a further 22.5% of deposits “reserved as a buffer”. Seemingly, the Trioka and the Cyprus Finance Ministry appear to be converging on a figure of 47.5%. Zero Hedge, predicts the figure to rise to 60% at the end of the year, as the train hits the buffers.”
Ouch.

What you may need to know:
1. Warning: this clip is totally safe for work.That said, it does feature Shia Labeouf.
2. Nymphomaniac is the new film from Danish provocateur Lars Von Trier.
3. It stars Von Trier regulars Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Dafoe – both adorable in Lars’ playful romantic comedy Antichrist (2009) – alongside Uma Thurman, Stellan Skarsgard and Christian Slater, long overdue a comeback. It’s been twenty-five years since Heathers (1988). Shocking.
4. The film will be released in two versions, an explicit one and a softer cut. We suggest a third cut, minus Labeouf and his dodgy British accent.
5. Lars Von Trier – mad genius or total chancer? You decide…
Release Date: 2014

Ah yes, the Victorains. Better spellers than the Elizathebans.
We’re almost sure this roundabuot is currently operating on the Brya seafrnot.
As part of an ongoing research project into the behaviour of bears in Alberta’s Kananaskis Country, a camera was set up during May and June of this year to take pictures every few seconds of a tree popular among the local ursine community.
And here’s the soundtrack they should have used.
