Before I leave for kung fu, here's another crop of links:

Police hunt poo protesters: "Legal experts say there is no law against using faeces as a flag stand and the federal constitution is vague on the issue" (thanks, Benoit).

'Living' robots powered by muscle: What a coincidence. I'm powered by muscle, too!

Wasilla man constructing 18-foot-tall not-a-robot: This one's not powered by muscle, but by hydraulics. I think the maker played too much Battletech.

Personal Ads: Just a good collection of personals, including "SWM seeks 300lb+ woman to sit and squash doughnuts on me. Box 1234 From the Boston Phoenix" (thanks, Dead Corpse).

Check out the reviews written for The Story About Ping and The Family Circus.

PacMan: I always sucked at this game, and I still do.

Committee to Protect Bloggers: Sometimes people don't just get fired for blogging. Sometimes they get tortured (thanks, Warren Ellis).

Juliana: This little girl was born without a face. It makes me realize just how much I take my jawbone for granted.

VW Polo 'Ad': Thoroughly tasteless advertisement.

Bug Me Not: Bypass compulsory web registration (thanks, digby_tantrum).

Bloody hell. Today I just read about the theory of the Uncanny Valley (http://www.arclight.net/~pdb/glimpses/valley.html), and I must say that Juliana fits right at the bottom of that valley. While I know she's human, I still have an instict of "kill it! kill it!"

*chuckles* True. He even insists on it being called a 'mech.
