I'm Never Swimming Again: Robotic Snake Goes For A Dip

This is a video of a HiBot ACM-R5 robotic snake going for a little skinny dip. For the record, I would NOT get naked and swim with it. I did go skinny dipping with a bunch of girls in college though.

I bet I'm taller and have a nicer complexion in that universe too. You know how much money I have to spend on beauty products? It's embarrassing. Sharpie penis drawings must be terrible for your skin.

Seen here about to inappropriately touch a stepladder, DARPA's autonomous V-bat drone hovers while showing off its 6-foot robotic arm. Wonderful, now they're going to start stealing our claw machine prizes. At least leave some for the kids. Officially, there's an innocuous ... / Continue →

These are some shots of a shark breaching the water to catch a seal snapped off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa by photographer Dana Allen. I'm not sure how long he (he -- Dana's a he) had to sit around waiting for a shark to fly, but maybe it happens all the time. Now i... / Continue →
