When I was 12 I was convinced this is what the future would look like . Needless to say, I’ve had to develop some pretty serious defense mechanisms to deal with disappointment in the past 16 years. But I haven’t given up — I WILL be blinded by science laser aereolas. Or die trying. Probably die trying. Hit the jump for the uncensored, slightly more nipple-y shot.

Miss me? I missed you. I hope everyone had a safe yet explosive weekend. Amazingly, I’m still alive and fingerful. Let me tell you: it wasn’t easy. Now, let’s return to our regularly scheduled program, shall we? NASA, who I used to respect , wants to build a bunch of transformers to do their dirty work. *shaking head* And I used to want be an astronaut . NASA wanted a robot that could start as 100 blocky modules dropped from an airplane to a desert, reconfigure into a rover that could drive to a sand dune, and then change again to “grow” legs and climb up it. Once the blocky robot reached the top, it would transform into a greenhouse that could protect a group of seeds for two weeks. Only 20 of the modules were built during an ambitious project more than two years ago. But together, they are known as Superbot. Now repeat after me, “All hail Superbot!” ZOMG — A COUPLE OF YOU ACTUALLY DID IT! You make me sick. Hit the jump to see two of the robot’s other configurations.
