What can I say about frogs?
I really want to say something funny, but I’m totally distracted because Matt’s watching some terrible episode of Dr. Who involving these Cthulhu-mated-with-Dr.Zoidberg-looking aliens (demons?) with bright red eyes and crazy glowing balls. Ummm… let me rephrase. They have glowing spheres, that seem to be a weapon. Anyways, it seems to be an alien revolution. My point being, Dr. Who is played by the same guy who played Barty Crouch Jr. in the last Harry Potter movie, and I keep expecting Harry and his plucky band of misfits to ride in on broomsticks and save the day, while learning a valuable lesson about love, friendship, sacrifice and loyalty.
And Neville Longbottom has a toad named Trevor. See how I did that? I totally tied it all back together.

Look, I know I did a vampire bot. This one is totally different: it’s a bot DRESSED as DRACULA. That’s like, totally different from a robot vampire.
oh, semantics. I love you so.

Oh, Jackalopes. Probably the best-known cryptid, and best de-bunked (and thusly, not as interesting as some). The crazy part is that some rabbits actually do grow horn-like thingies (that’s a technical term, folks); they can become infected with Shopes papillomavirus, which cause horn-like growths… probably what gave rise to the whole jackalope thing in the first place.
Of course, this jackalope is for real.

So it’s no secret that here on RAD, when I can’t think of something witty, sarcastic, or pithy to say, I turn to our dear friend the Wikipedia for proven facts and scientific truths about the world around us.
I really didn’t have anything to say about mummys.
so, I found out some really great stuff for you:
1. Jeremy Bentham, founder of Utilitarianism, decreed in his will that he was to be preserved and displayed in a chair. And he was. It’s called the Auto-Icon. And it’s on display (minus his real head, ’cause people kept stealing it). As weird as this all sounds, this Dude was actually pretty awesome. He argued for animal rights, the abolition of slavery, equality of the sexes, the right to divorce, decriminalization of homosexual acts, and the seperation of church and state. His arguments that it is the ability to suffer, not the ability to reason, that should be the hallmark of how we treat each other, pretty much rocks my world.
2. In Russia, in the early 20th Century, there was a popular movement called Cosmism, that touted the scientific resurrection of the dead (presumably, at some future point). This was so popular that when Lenin died, there were plans laid to cyronically preserve him & his brain (for future generations to revive, of course), but this never happened. So they did the second best thing, and preserved him! You can still go see him, I think, though I know there were a couple of tense moments when he started growing mold.
3. Remember that Star Trek episode where they revived those people from the past? That was cool. And uh, has nothing to do with mummification. But, still, totally cool. Also see: Futurama.
In summary: Mummification: not as cool as being frozen for future generations to revive.

Those of you who read romance novels will know exactly what I’m talking about here.
For those who don’t, here’s the low down: a sensitive sweater guy is the other dude in a romance novel- the one that the heroine dislikes at first, but who nurses a secret passion for her throughout the novel. Once the good-looking, cool, but ultimately jerky dude she first gets with falls in love with shows his true colours, the sensitive sweater guy swoops in to save the day. The ultimate (and original) example of this would be in that novel of all novels, Pride and Prejudice. Wickham is the Jerky McJerk who causes problems, and Mr.Darcy is the sensitive sweater guy who saves the day. The sweater aspect originates in Bridget Jones’ Diary, in which Mark Darcy wears a hideous sweater at Christmas, which turns out to have been given to him by his doting mother. And yes, Mark Darcy is the modern Mr. Darcy. Now, go out and rent the BBC Pride & Prejudice miniseries and get yourself a nice big tub of Ben & Jerry’s, and see if you don’t end up with a bit of a crush on the sensitive sweater guy yourself.
*also, please note, the SSG is a totally mythical creature. If you see a guy in an ugly sweater, run far far away, because it’s most likely that he just has really bad taste in clothing. He’s certainly not going to force your youngest sister to marry Mr. Wickham after she runs off with him, the hussy.

So, I’m not big on holiday-themed bots, but who doesn’t love Halloween? (only weirdos and dentists). So, to celebrate, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday there will be a halloween-themed robot, until the end of October (and no, this will not happen in December for that other holiday)! These will be tagged with “robot-o-ween”, in case you want to see them all together at the end of the month. Tuesday and Thursday bots will be regular Robot a Day bots- so remember this easy rhyme so you won’t be disappointed: “if it’s a day that starts with ‘T’, no halloween bot for thee”.
Also, check back on Halloween for an extra special downloady surprise.
