Killerbot

An Australian pensioner has reportedly killed himself after building a "suicide robot" from plans downloaded from the internet.

This robot is not so dangerous. (what? it just kills you?). The 81-year-old, from Queensland, set up the machine to remotely fire a semi-automatic pistol.

When he activated it, it fired several shots into his head.

The man, who lived alone, left a suicide note saying he was unhappy at being forced by relatives to move into care home.

Full details of how the machine worked have not been released.

The man explained in his notes that he set the machine up on his driveway as he knew there were builders next door, and they would be alerted by the sound of gunshot.

All right it's Saturday. I'm a shift worker for fucks sake!!!!

Disappointed with the freebie?

Ten chatty girlfriends dined at Joe Delucci's Italian restaurant in Bird Street, Lichfield, Staffordshire. But apparently the service was slow and they complained loudly and 
bitterly to the waiter. They complained even more when they saw the freebie on the bill ;-)
Diner Clare Watkin said she thought it was written after they complained about poor service!!!

WTF DO WE VOTE FOR THESE PEOPLE? pt2

Japan has created an unusual government post, and named a perfect figure to the position: a cartoon robot cat.
Doraemon accepts his new responsibilities.
Foreign Minister Masahiko Komura appointed the popular cartoon robot cat, called Doraemon, as an 'anime ambassador' on Wednesday, handing a human-sized Doraemon doll an official certificate at an inauguration ceremony, along with dozens of 'dorayaki' red bean pancakes - his favorite dessert - piled on a huge plate.
Komura told the doll, with an unidentified person inside, that he hoped he would widely promote Japanese anime cartoons.
'Doraemon, I hope you will travel around the world as an anime ambassador to deepen people's understanding of Japan so they will become friends with Japan,' Komura told the blue-and-white cat.
The appointment is part of Japan's recent effort to harness the power of pop culture in diplomacy.
Japan also created an International Manga Award last year under comic enthusiast former Foreign Minister Taro Aso, who likened it to a 'Nobel Prize' for an artist working abroad.
Manga, the name used for Japanese-syle comic books, often combine complex stories with drawing styles that differ from their overseas superhero counterparts, particularly in their emphasis on cuteness.
This year, the ministry plans to arrange showings of a Doraemon film in Singapore, China, Spain, France, and at other Japanese diplomatic missions around the world.
Doraemon - through voice actress Wasabi Mizuta, who spoke from behind a sliding paper screen - promised Komura that 'Through my cartoons, I hope to convey to people abroad what ordinary Japanese people think, our lifestyles and what kind of future we want to build.'
Created by cartoonist Fujiko F. Fujio, Doraemon is a Japanese cultural icon and is popular around the world, especially in Asia. The robotic cat travels back in time from the 22nd century and uses gadgets such as a time machine and an 'anywhere door' that come out of a fourth-dimensional pocket on his stomach to help his friends, allowing them to travel anywhere and to any time they wish.
Astro Boy, another cartoon icon, was named last November as ambassador for overseas safety.

which leads me to....

i rest my case!

Life on E-Bay

A man in Australia is auctioning his life - his house, his job, his clothes and his friends - on eBay, after his marriage broke up, saying he wants to start a new life.
'It's time to move. A completely fresh start. I want to see where life takes me,' Ian Usher, 44, from Perth, told Australian television on Tuesday.
Usher said he was auctioning his life as 'a package' with his house in Perth valued at around £195,000 (A$420,000).

'Hi there, my name is Ian Usher, and I have had enough of my life! I don't want it any more! You can have it if you like!,' reads his Web site alife4sale.com, which has a link to eBay for bidders.
Usher said his life auction, which starts on June 22, included not only his house, a car, a motorbike, a jet ski and a spa, but also an introduction to 'great friends' and - best of all - a job at a rug shop in Perth for a trial two-week period.

Got to watch this one and see how much he gets for his life!

Hurlum turdum...

Long story short: "A British businessman fed up with being targeted by vandals has installed a 30-foot Roman-style catapult on the premises to hurl bucket loads of chicken manure at vandals  attacking his rural offices."
