Unskilled Labor: Robot Cleans A Whiteboard

HO IS RIGHT, ROBO-SKANK!

This is a video of a HOAP-2 humanoid robot learning how to wipe a whiteboard (God, learn how to do your ass first!).

Whoa whoa whoa -- NOT ON MY WATCH, DEATH-BOTS! Please? I'm trying to start a cult and could really use the street-cred.

  June 27, 2012

  This is the 'Streetwise' Cheese Top Burger from KFC in the Philippines. It has a slice of melted cheese on the top of the bun, making it the LEAST 'streetwise' burger I've ever seen. Jesus, the only streetdumber sandwich would be one with ALL the condiments on the outside. No... / Continue →
