Skynet Kill Probe Invented
The eyes and ears of our future cybernetic overlords have taken shape, thanks to the industrious engineering work of the Germans. How ironic.
The Hexacopter can zoom in and out of view in the blink of an eye, and sounds like an “angry swarm of bees” as it collects intelligence, scans for impure thoughts, and prepares a euthanasia beam for its thankful victims.
I Love Bananas
I do not love this. This is one of the creepier YouTube videos in recent memory. It reminds me of a French Surrealist spoof of The Fountain. In other words, this fellow could be the Avatar of Ehecatl, the Aztec God of Wind (and Bananas).

Taking the Red Pill Isn’t Easy
Don’t they make psychotropic tracking devices in liquid form?

First-Person Tetris
I might even call this self-actualization Tetris. In this game, you’re not the removed architect and organizer of pieces, you’re the pieces themselves. Heavy, right? Building blocks of the world, unite!
