Last Friday, the north Mexican town of Los Ramones inaugurated a brand new police station.

On Tuesday morning, the entire police force of Los Ramones resigned.
Now here’s Mihuaxiutl with the weather…

As part of his innovative attempt (brains, you see) to promo his new zombie apocalypse novel Rise Again, author, Ben Tripp is offering a downloadable sheet of zombie wounds on his site. Ben sez:

Artist Brock Davi, whose work appears in Wired, the New York Times and elsewhere, created this Star Wars artifact – a fictional invoice to Jabba the Hutt from bounty hunter Boba Fett for services rendered capturing Han Solo.

Crap.
Artist Liu Bolin, from Shandong, China, who appears in all the above photos, is an internationally renowned artist and master of camouflage. Liu, who works on each shot for up to 10 hours at a time, says his art is a protest against the actions of the Chinese Government, which shut down his studio in 2005 .
You see, it’s all about not fitting into modern society.
Artist Joby Cumming’s print works the Seven Deadly Sins into the form of a skull.

We finally stumbled across something even creepier than dancing fembot HRP-4C.
Robot ‘gynoid’ Actroid F – an ultra-realistic android developed by Japanese roboticist Kokoro, was publicly unveiled in Tokyo this week. She’s dressed as a nurse who could possibly work in a hospital as an ‘observer’.
Imagine waking up to this shit after a botched appendectomy.
Actroid F also has a twin sister, Geminoid F.
More detailed creepiness here.
