Got to get one of these This is pretty cool, can you imagine seeing these things rolling down your street saving us all the back pain and snivels from shoveling. What's cute, yellow, eats snow and poops out bricks of ice? Meet Yuki-taro, a Japanese robot built to quickly clear roads after heavy snows. The cute little guy, about 5 feet long and 2 and a half feet high, simply plows into snowbanks, taking in the white stuff, compressing it and neatly stacking it in two-foot-long bricks on his rear bed. Created by a consortium of private companies, municipal governments and university researchers, Yuki-taro is equipped with two video cameras in his "eyes" as well as a GPS tracking system to be completely self-guided. The prototype has already won a design award, and doctored photos of it modified to look like the popular Pokemon character Pikachu have popped up online. Born Again Christians only need to chew, It's those left behind that have to swallow it. |

How cool is that! I gotta get one of those things. God's blessings always, Karen God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world. ~C.S. Lewis~ Time to say goodbye
