| Domino's Builds Pizza Delivery Robot Posted: 20 Mar 2016 04:00 AM PDT Domino's Pizza hopes to offer an alternative to human delivery of its pizza. It recently unveiled its new autonomous delivery robot in Australia. It's called the DRU: Domino's Robotic Unit. It's a 450-pound machine that travels up to 12.4 miles per hour and contains chilled and heated compartments for food. The DRU uses GPS navigation system to find its way to the delivery destination. Autonomous programming permits it to maneuver around obstacles. When it arrives, customers type in a code to access their food. Forbes reports:

| What Celebrities Would Look Like if Bad Fan Art Was Accurate Posted: 20 Mar 2016 02:00 AM PDT We love good fan art, but there's no denying that for every great piece of fan art there are ten pieces of not-so-great fan art. Sometimes those bad artworks are so terrible they're actually amazing -especailly when you Photoshop pictures of the celebrities to look like those "artworks." EMGN has done a great job of exactly that and the results are utterly hilarious. And sure, they may not be true works of art, but they do prove that even bad art has its place in this world -even if only to make us smile. | ||||||||
| Posted: 20 Mar 2016 12:00 AM PDT Once upon a time, we presented you with the puzzle about Four Men in Hats. That was difficult. Then we gave you three men with five hats. I never figured that one out on my own, either. Now comes a puzzle with the same type of situation, except there are now ten people, and they’ve been abducted by aliens. This time, they don’t know how many hats are black or white, but they get a chance to work out a strategy before they are lined up. Alex Gendler presents a TED-Ed lesson on how the abductees could work it out -if they are intelligent enough. See, not only does someone have to figure out how to do it, the others must be able to follow simple instructions, and it’s hard to find ten people who can do that. -via mental_floss | ||||||||
| Bruce Springsteen Wrote A Tardy Note For Kid Attending His Concert Posted: 19 Mar 2016 10:00 PM PDT When you go to a Bruce Springsteen concert you stay until the Boss is done doing his thing, and these days that can last three or four hours easy, which could spell trouble for any elementary school students in the audience. A young man named Xabi attended a Springsteen concert with his superfan dad Scott Glovsky at L.A. Memorial Sports Arena on a Tuesday night, and when the concert didn't end until 11:40 Xabi thought he might be in trouble. Luckily he'd held up a sign during the concert that said “Bruce, I will be late to school tomorrow, please sign my note”, and the Boss proved he's still the Boss by actually writing the kid a note. Bruce invited Xabi and his dad backstage and wrote him a note that read ““Dear Ms. Jackson, Xabi has been out very late rocking + rolling. Please excuse him if he is tardy!” And that's how a new generation of Bruce Springsteen fans are born. -Via Flavorwire | ||||||||
| Is Your Cat Left-Handed or Right-Handed? Posted: 19 Mar 2016 08:00 PM PDT Apparently, cats have a dominant front paw. You can check your cats by putting a treat in the bottom of a glass. Which paw does your cat use to fish it out? You may need to do this several times to make sure, like mugumogu did with Maru and Hana. So Hana is left-handed, while Maru is right-handed, after first trying it with his face. According to RocketNews24, 40% of cats are left-handed, 50% are right-handed, and 10% are ambidextrous. BRB going to find glasses and treats for four cats. -via Fark | ||||||||
| Gotham Rogues Gallery - The Faces Of Villainy Posted: 19 Mar 2016 06:00 PM PDT Gotham Rogues Gallery by Barrett Biggers & JP Perez Gotham seems to have more villains per city block than most cities have coffee shops, and yet only a handful of those colorful criminals actually make a name for themselves. The Bat has his own list of elite evildoers he calls the Rogues Gallery, and the characters on this list are both dangerous and deadly cool. Surprisingly, the Caped Crusader has actually enlisted a few of the Rogues over the years to help take down even worse villains, which leaves them in sort of a gray area in terms of morality... Show the world which side of the superhero conflict you're on with this Gotham Rogues Gallery t-shirt by Barrett Biggers and JP Perez, it's the deadly cool way to hail the villains that give those do-gooders a run for their money!

| Winnie The Pooh Face Masks Are Giving People Nightmares Posted: 19 Mar 2016 06:00 PM PDT Winnie the Pooh is one of those cute and cuddly characters that should make you feel all warm and fuzzy every time you see him, no matter the incarnation or re-imagining. But a new line of officially licensed Winnie the Pooh 'relaxation masks' are making people pooh their pants in terror, since they look like something a serial killer would wear while they slay. Both the Winnie and Eeyore masks make the wearer feel like they're having a waking heffalump and woozle dream, but they're face isn't melting- it's just the look of a licensed product gone horribly wrong! Posting pictures of yourself wearing the frightful mask of Pooh has become a Twitter trend in Japan, where people don't mind putting a little Pooh on their face for the sake of social media comedy. -Via design you trust | ||||||||
| Baby Elephant Tries to Figure out How His Trunk Works Posted: 19 Mar 2016 04:00 PM PDT The baby elephant at Kruger National Park in South Africa has discovered something important: he has a long dangly thing hanging on his face. It appears to be flexible, although he needs to practice controlling it. The dangly thing flops around in every direction except the one he wants. Perhaps he should consult the owner's manual. -via Nothing to Do with Aborath | ||||||||
| An Experimental Autism Treatment Cost Me My Marriage Posted: 19 Mar 2016 02:00 PM PDT John Elder Robison dealt with autism for 50 years. He had his life in place, with a wife, son, and a job. Then he underwent transcranial magnetic stimulation, or T.M.S., a non-invasive therapy for depression that is under experimental study for the treatment of autism and other uses. In his case, it was wildly successful, which came with a price. How does one deal with suddenly being “non-autistic” after 50 years?
The changes in Robison’s life hinged on the way he had built that life to fit around his autism. It’s a fascinating read that highlights the need to add professional counseling to experimental treatments, just in case they work. -via Digg | ||||||||
| The New Dog Fence Works Perfectly Posted: 19 Mar 2016 12:00 PM PDT YouTube user rgraves62002 owns Stella the dog. Stella loves to run around and play. To keep her in the yard, he built a sturdy wooden fence to pen her in. Immediately after finishing the project, he proudly recorded his handiwork. And Stella expressed her opinion of the fence. -via Tastefully Offensive | ||||||||
| Explaining That “Cosmic Ice Sculptures” Photo Posted: 19 Mar 2016 10:00 AM PDT You may have seen this image in your Facebook feed or some other internet forum. Or maybe an email from your aunt Gladys. The caption is usually something along the lines of
But it’s not. Yes, it’s an astronomy image, but it wasn’t taken by Hubble, isn’t the Carina Nebula, and the original doesn’t quite look like that. The finished image is an artwork by Adam Ferriss, who never intended it to be construed as anything else. Bad Astronomer Phil Plait tells the story of a neat image manipulation that took on a fictional life of its own. It’s an example the many things on the internet that turn out to be something other than what it claims, while the true story behind them is interesting anyway. | ||||||||
| The Scariest Urban Legend From Each State Posted: 19 Mar 2016 08:00 AM PDT America may be unified as one country, but each state is more like it's own mini nation, with its own sense of style, favorite foods and, of course, its own set of urban legends. Miss C lives in Kentucky, which is home to Sleepy Hollow Road, where people claim to have heard phantom infant cries near Cry Baby Bridge. There are also reports of people being tailgated by a driverless black hearse, and Satanic rituals were supposedly held near Devil's Point in the 70s and 80s, so people claim to hear disembodied voices chanting in the area. John Farrier lives in Texas, home of the Galveston ghost face, a spectral visage that appears on the side of the UT Medical School building in Galveston that just won't go away. Jill Harness and I live in California, where the mysterious "Alien Blood" incident rocked Riverside General Hospital back in 1984:
And Neatorama founder Alex Santoso recently moved to Oregon, where he may pay a visit to Crater Lake, the subject of strange stories and the site of several unexplained disappearances. On second thought, maybe you'd better avoid Crater Lake altogether Alex! Read Here Is The Scariest Urban Legend From Every State here | ||||||||
| Posted: 19 Mar 2016 06:00 AM PDT This Japanese ad for Seiko watches features the world’s tiniest Rube Goldberg contraption. Since it is an ad, we can’t say for sure that there is no video magic involved, but a couple of instances of human intervention would lead one to think not. The device is composed of 1200 mechanical watch parts, the smallest being less than a millimeter in size. The sequence sure is pretty. The video description focuses on the song, which was composed by Seiko CEO Shinji Hattori, with lyrics by Seiko employees, and sung by Etsuko Yakushimaru. -via Viral Viral Videos |
