SELENE HD Moon Images

SELENE has returned High Definition Images of the Moon, and they’ve got a movie of flying over the moon also—somebody IMAX this.

Feral Robotic Dogs used to bring media attention to polluted areas, robotic geese that allow humans to get up close and personal to the real ones, fish sensor array that signals people to feed the fish… check out the fantastic engineering projects of Natalie Jeremijenko.

Hi-Res Creature

In related news a fake paper refuting “manmade global warming theory” became the darling of Rush Limbaugh and other Climate Change skeptics until the ruse was revealed.

Beware! The United Nations warns, Ban human clones or expect them soon.

Begging for LOLCatdom: Hi-Res Creature.

i love the “high definition” movie they post, which is not in high definition! :) I look forward to the scene-released xvid-encoded 1920×1080p film! :)
