By The Way...

...Happy Indeppendix Day! See the post from last year for an explanation.

Sadly in the spirit of journalistic integrity, I must disclose that my streak of "days without a technicolor yawn" ended a few months ago. I'm thinking of filing an appeal to disqualify this as a streak breaker because it was the side effect of an especially bothersome sinus drainage episode.
And that's all I have to say about that.

So celebrate Indeppendix Day with me by going out and eating way too much of your favorite food.

Robot Alert: He's Outside Your Front Door!

...oooooohhhh grab your Jello! Set the sofa on fire! He won't come near smoke and fire and Jello!

Friends, when you see this video, you'll understand why I had to come back.

Note to the scientific community: WILL YOU CUT IT OUT ALREADY?

That wasn't creepy enough for you? Check out this video that "they" have titled, "The Shadow Hand making use of its fingernails to scratch a head."

I think a more accurate title would be, "Checking for Weak Spots."

If you just haven't had enough, go to http://www.shadowrobot.com/ to see more uplifting videos of "the hand" and other interesting topics like "air muscles" and "finger units".
