Anatomical cake wastes time for talented individual who obviously has nothing better to do...

Makes me mad! Hang on though, that's quite educational... if a bit freaky - do you think it encourages cannibalism.

This Hallowe'en cake is a replica of a Gray's Anatomy illustration of a complete thoraxic cavity. Swoon.

The plan was for each organ to be made out of a different kind of cake and to secrete a different color of fluid when it was cut into. Previous heart cakes have bled fresh, homemade raspberry sauce. This year I made raspberry, strawberry, kiwi, mango, and blueberry sauces. Sadly, the organs didn't bleed as well as I had hoped when I cut the cake, as each organ was relatively small and couldn't hold much sauce. Also all the moving around after filling the organs made it hard to keep the sauce contained in the little cavities I hollowed out. The heart bled pretty well, but the other organ fluids weren't very dramatic.

Batman vehicle models

A gas powered trip down memory lane...

This guy has gone through Batman comics from the 1940s on up, and has built scale models of the cars and planes Batman has used over the decades. Super cool. Link (Via The Cartoonist)

[Via Boing Boing]... of course in the future Batman goes off-road and becomes even meaner. Really though, he should have a Mitsubishi Warrior (black with all the trimmings)?

Emergency! The laws of robotics need to be put into legislation before it's too late.

Asimov's laws of robotics were fictional rules governing the behaviour of autonomous robots. Now, Sony have created robots that can dance in such a convincing manner that I thought this was either an April fools joke or little men dressed in robot costumes.

I wonder if they recognise the phrase, "Can you get me another beer please?"

I love diving - but imagine traversing those peaceful dive sites on a motorbike?!

This HAS to be an April Fool's joke come early, surely?

The Scubadoo is an AUS$17,500 "underwater motorcycle" that looks like something off of Space: 1999's aquatic habitat ship, shipping soon. It does 2.5 knots and carries an hour's worth of air.

I love a good war me!!! nothing like watching BBC news 24 to help stem off the insomnia, however kicking off with the Argies again seems rather limited to me in terms of good tv??? There'll never be a land war and most of their heavy cruisers are crap these days have a look at their military spending here

Whats the Argies spend their cash on

Be good to get our nuclear subs out though, it'd be a watery theatre so we'd have some great footage i'll be expecting carmeras mounted on torpedos!! that'd be class!!!
