This is a picture of part of a Star Wars invasion of Dubai taken by photographer Cédric Delsaux and CG-ified by Pierrick Gueneugue. I posted a couple more after the jump but you really need to go the website and see them all in high-res for full appreciation. And speaking of appreciation: did you know today is Love A Blogger Day? It is, I just invented it. Suck it, Hallmark, you don’t have shit on my holiday inventing skills! Pfft, Grandparents’ day, don’t make me laugh. Hit the jump for a couple more and another link to the whole gallery.

This is a little gallery from College Humor that reimagines video games named what people say the most while playing them. They’re pretty accurate. But, for your reading pleasure, I’ve compiled a list of some of my personal faves. 1. MOOOOOOOM — I Need Another Juice Box! 2. GAAAAAAAAAHH!! 3. PEW PEW Bitches — Headshot! 4. Aren’t You Hot In That Dress, Zelda? 5. Damnit Stop Walking In Front Of The TV, Dick 6. *the sound of a thrown controller* 7. I WILL F***ING KILL YOU ALL AND DESTROY EARTH! 8. God I Hate This Game Hit the jump for several more of the HACKS! HE’S PLAYING WITH HACKS!

Like being a father , just the very thought of it makes me sick to my stomach . And the only thing that makes this redeemable is the fact that “my robe and wizard hat” also made the cut ( bloodninja , high-five!). Oh, and “my Robert Pattinson”. God that’s pathetic. Listen Twi-Hards — HE WILL NEVER BE YOURS. Will you, Robert? No, you won’t. Now keep tickling, glittercakes. Never Have Unprotected Robot Sex [autocompleteme] Thanks to Twelveburgers, who, wait — no cheese?

It’s a giant baby robot . It exemplifies everything that’s wrong with robotics . Namely, that they exist — or were born , if you will (L337 baby tie-in FTW!). It shouldn’t exist. If I had a time machine I’d go back in time and make sure it was never created bang dinos. Sorry guys, I’ve got priorities. the robot is supposed to model a 1 year old baby and the purpose is to conduct research on how a baby’s brain develops. Diego-san’s face has about 20 moving parts so that it can communicate with facial expression without being able to talk. It is 130cm tall, weighs 30kg and can stand up from a chair on its own. It can hold a water bottle with its hand. It has a high resolution camera and 6 axis acceleration sensor built in to detect movement. Unfortunately it doesn’t say why the head has to be so big. Female researchers contributed to the design and coordination - thus the photo of woman hugging Diego-san. Pfft. Like you really need a creepy-ass robot to study how a baby’s brain develops? Here, let me solve that mystery for you: slowly. I have an eleven-year old who still craps his pants. And before you all get in a huff about scarring my son by airing his dirty laundry (God I’m good) on Geekologie, don’t worry: it’s not like he can read. Hit the jump for a larger shot of the baby and his inventor.

This isn’t the first time a programmable roadsign has been hacked , and it probably won’t be the last . How do I know ? I’m blogging from the keypad of one of the things right now! Now how do you spell “handsomest”? Is that right — it looks funny. At least two Florida Department of Transportation traffic signs - on West University Avenue and North Main Street - carried the warning: “ZOMBIE ATTACK!! EVACUATE.” The sign on Main misspelled evacuate. But the signs were a hoax. Someone had hacked the message on the signs, either by telephone or working directly at the signs themselves, FDOT spokeswoman Gina Busscher said. “We’ve not seen any zombies on University Avenue,” Busscher added, “so apparently it worked well. … We’ve not had a problem like this before.” Oh damn — I didn’t know you could program these things by telephone! So what the hell am I doing standing out here in the middle of the median? I mean, besides flashing. That’s no speed bump, lady! Don’t fear: Zombies are not near [gainsville] Thanks to Kelly and Roy, who once hacked into the CIA mainframe a body up and threw it in the ocean.

This is a video of a dancing robot girl that was shot (the footage, not the robot — unfortunately) during the very disturbing (and fundamentally wrong) ROBO-ONE GATE Dance Competition. A dancing robot competition? Really? That’s it, I’m heading to the moon . The 6th ROBO-ONE GATE IN INTERNATIONAL ROBOT EXHIBITION 2009 Dance Competiton spons took place in Tokyo Big Sight, during INTERNATIONAL ROBOT EXHIBITION 2009 , on Nov. 28th, 2009. `LOVE & JOY, Yuhi Kimura` by Doka Harumi (Doka Project). No one survived the performance. Jesus, this is the shit nightmares are made of. You know, the kind you wake up from with a full load. And don’t even act like it’s never happened, it’s happened . I ran into your mom at the grocery store! Doka Harumi’s robot dance routine fills us with shame for humanity, but mostly Japan [engadget] Thanks to Mycropht, who once danced with a robot BUT ONLY TO GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO PLANT THE C4. Good lookin’, Micropht.

Not to be outclassed by the recent Drybones baby , a family in the U.K. claims to be birthing Michael Jackson’s head. And, based on the ultrasonic evidence, I have to admit: that is indeed Michael Jackson getting poked in the nose with a penis turd. Mum and dad-to-be Dawn Kelley and William Hickman, from Sunderland, couldn’t believe their eyes when looking at this scan of their unborn baby - seeing the face of Jacko staring back at them. But the baby will not be called Michael - the couple know they’re having a girl. Ms Kelley, who is 24 weeks’ pregnant, due in March, said: “I’ve had plenty of scans before and none of the photos have ever looked like this. It’s a bit spooky. “But it is my seventh child, and seven is a mythical number.” Mythical number 7, riiiiiiight. Listen, I’m not so sure you should be breeding so much. Probably should have stuck with good ol’ non-mythical 0. Just sayin’! (Do you know anything about dragons?) ‘Our unborn baby looks like Michael Jackson!’ [shieldsgazette] Thanks to Aslan=Jesus and The Geekologies Writer lover, who, have you been drinking again?

This is a video taken from the top of the Burj Dubai , the tallest building in the world, at 2,684 ft. Jesus, that’s half a mile . Can you believe humans are even capable of this? I can’t — I shit my swim trunks on the high dive once. But, to my credit, I did do one hell of a cannonball. This Video From the Tip Top of the Burj Dubai Makes Me Sick to My Stomach [gizmodo] Thanks to Rick, who has dived off higher platforms into a cup of water. I mean, he died, but he did do it.

Hey guys, sorry for sporadic posting the past few days, I was on a walk-about finding myself (I was in the trunk of a Buick!) and, like the aborigines say in The Gods Must Be Crazy , click-click-clack-click-clack. I hope you understand, and weren’t hoping I was dead (even though I know you secretly were!). Anyway, I’m back AND READY TO DO THIS. Rawr. RAWR! This is the face of some chick that’s all make-upped to look pixelated . It serves as a perfect example of how important high-resolution is, because she looks like a scary clown . Now I know what you’re thinking: “I’d still hit that like an 8-bit princess”. And of course you would, you’d hit anything. Only thing is: she wouldn’t hit you . Stick to the stuffed animals, champ. Please, Someone Increase Her Resolution [hawtness] Thanks to Aisha, who looks good at any resolution, even if you have to squint.
