It’s such a pity that Think Geek’s UK postage is so costly… otherwise I might just get myself a Star Trek Spock dressing gown.

Found On The Web – Warner Brothers to film Rome Sweet Rome movie
This is fantastic… basically somebody posted a (quite good) short story on Reddit about a modern day marine battalion being transported back in time to ancient Rome. People loved it so the story was expanded and now there might be a film of it… good work!

Found On The Web – A swell trick with a nail and a block of wood
This is rather impressive – it’s the kind of thing I’d have in my classroom if I was a teacher and I’d let anyone make a guess as to how it was done (for a small fee) and the first person to get it right would win the money.

Found On The Web – Serbian Border Patroller: 1986 TAM 110
At some point in the next few years we’ll need to buy a new car… there’s just something about a massive 4*4 that would be very very awesome. Pity the fuel costs would be a tad prohibitive!

Found On The Web – AlphaDog, A Four-Legged All Terrain Robot by Boston Dynamics
I’d like an AlphaDog. I don’t know what I’d do with one but it looks mighty awesome. 400lbs is about 6-10 fully loaded rucksacks so depending on what you’re up to it could be very useful. In the long term I can see something like this being used for Arctic expeditions or for mountain rescue… and taking snowboarders to the tops of big hills!
