With how frequently a single sock goes missing in my house, I’m not sure what good a sock matching robot would be, but the concept is a novel one. UC Berkeley researchers programmed the PR2 robot to not only match up pairs of socks, but to also flip the inside out socks back to their outside in form. The robot ...

Now, boiled down to a number lower than 1,000, the modern geisha has become more a novelty than the once revered and exclusive figures they once were.

Then, you’ll have a better idea of what it’s like to live death as a zombie. The undead never get a free second to add a little variety into their diet. As soon as they crack open a ...

Eventually, people are going to get bored of this whole fake instrument gaming craze.

Much like the Weebles that wobble, but don’t fall down, the roly-poly light will never stay flat on the ground, no matter how hard you try or how badly you beat it.
