I’ve always loved watching the progress of our endeavor to create replicas of ourselves as accurately as possible. Whether it’s an animatronic robot with silicone skin and a pulley system controlling its eyelids or a completely digital representation consisting of points, polygons, and pixels. We sure have come a long way from a 48 pixel Mario bouncing on mushrooms; modern day computer models convey emotion through facial expressions like wrinkles in the forehead and subtle eye movements in ways that are nearly identical to our own. It will be the convergence of the mechanical, structural, and programmed motions that truly lead to a replica so close we cannot tell the difference. It won’t be long.

Ever wonder how far farts travel? Ever wonder why you can sometimes smell a fart so quickly after unleashing it? Well due to the marvels of modern imaging and one wonderfully thoughtful scientific knight we now have direct thermal imagery of an SBD caught in the wild.

I really can’t imagine a better way to politely remove yourself from a room.
