This is not about robots having sex with robots or robot libido. This is the fuckingmachines.com way of interaction with robots plus objectophilia.
David Levy, a British artificial intelligence researcher has a Ph.D. thesis at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands that is kind of – futuristic. “My forecast is that around 2050, the state of Massachusetts will be the first jurisdiction to legalize marriages with robots.” (via primidi.com)
Here are my questions: does one have to pay a compensation when divorcing a robot? what is the definition of a robot? (can i marry my dishwasher?)
Lots of Questions, no answers until my copy of Love and Sex with Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships arrives.

People are really eating strange things. At least that’s what i already know from the book Strange Foods. But a duck fetus? That’s something to try. Yummy!

Chihuahuas, Beagles, Bobtails. We all know them from videos such as “Birds” from pleix, from tv and from nintendo. Now you can play with them without smelling like a wet dog afterwards and without owning a Nintendo DS! The cardgame TOP ASS HUNDE is out now!
In Austria, ASS refers to the card ACE (but it’s also a company name). Ok, i admit: i also bought the cardgame because of the funny english connotation. Besides Quartett there’s also another way to play the game: Supertrumpf. There you would compare the specs of your cards with other players. Mostly this game is played with cars, a more expensive vehicle means you win. But with dogs? Does a more expensive dog win the competition? Comparing the coolness of dogs with the price they cost is a strange concept to teach kids in my opinion.
Quartett ist known as Happy Families (UK), Jeu de familles (FR), Gioco delle famiglie (IT), Authors (UK and USA). (de.wikipedia)

“The super-strong Captain Nazi (real name Albrecht Krieger) was genetically altered by his scientist father, and developed into the “perfect specimen” in order to fight for Adolf Hitler and the Axis Powers during World War II.” (via wikipedia)
This guy is pretty evil. Maybe if he wouldn’t wear stockings and a bathing suit, he would even look more scary (more like Arnold Schwarzenegger). I didn’t know “worlds worst villain”, although there are even Action Figures of that guy!

Well, if that ain’t some nice piece of beard! This photograph shows only one of twenty bearded people that were taking part at the World Beard and Moustache Championships. This guy at the picture was even just a competitor in the “Freestyle Beard” category. There’s even more weird people than that!

The life-size silicone dolls have a special “elastomer gel” inside their breasts for “ultrarealism.”weird. This reminds me of the 80’s movie Mannequin.
