Wolverine and Spiderman share a moment
Two of my greatest comic heroes – I love them even more now.
Every Death Star Has Its Exhaust Port
Toupé have just released a new album Duninadé and have allowed the album to be Downloaded For Free.
These guys are not only supertalented but also superheroes: if you wanted to show your support or enjoyment of the album then they ask you to make donations to Burma Campaign or Refuge (the domestic abuse charity).
Since every good album needs at least one Star Wars related tune:
04 Every Death Star Has Its Exhaust Port
Lyrics: EVERY DEATH STAR HAS ITS EXHAUST PORT.
(This song will mean nothing if you haven’t seen, memorised and quoted Star Wars (ep. IV, V, VI) or The Last Starfighter. The word FRAK comes from Battlestar Galactica. I’m saving Quantum Leap for the Q album.)Are you gonna let them talk to you like that?
Live your life under tyranny…well FRAK THAT!
I ain’t standing for this bubble of shat,
You’re incredible, right? It’s time to be incredible.
They aren’t the dogs with the biggest teeth no more,
You need to use your noddle if you wanna win a war,
This is what rebellion is for,
We’re invincible, right? It’s time to be invincible.
And you can start by singing a song like:YES THIS BATTLESTATION IS FULLY OPERATIONAL,
JUST REMEMBER THAT KICKING ASS IS AS SIMPLE AS SHOOTING WOMPRATS BACK HOME!
(they’re no bigger than two metres, they’re no bigger than that!)“Greetings Startfighter you have been recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier agaist Xur and the Ko-Dan armada,”
A-Team, Airwolf and Street Hawk too,
Taught a little boy what he really had to do,
And that’s to help get the message through,
That you’re incredible, right? It’s time to be incredible.
And now I’m getting a chubby for justice.YES THIS BATTLESTATION IS FULLY OPERATIONAL,
JUST REMEMBER THAT KICKING ASS IS AS SIMPLE AS SHOOTING WOMPRATS BACK HOME!There is no try, only do or do not…Karl.
You gotta STAY ON TARGET!
Come on, Kid.
Let’s blow this joint and GO HOME!MANY BOTHANS DIED TO BRING THIS INFORMATION TO US.
(Ewoks! UNITE!)
High-speed robot hand
Ishikawa Komuro Lab’s high-speed robot hand performing impressive acts of dexterity and skillful manipulation. This video presentation at ICRA 2009 (which took place in May in Kobe, Japan) has an informative narration and demonstrates dribbling a ping-pong ball, spinning a pen, throwing a ball, tying knots, grasping a grain of rice with tweezers, and tossing / re-grasping a cellphone.

Out with the world’s strongest bear
Saturday morning in Tampere Market Square I bumped to a visitor from Sweden: Bamse, the strongest and kindest bear in the world.
Bamse and his friends are very clear and admirable about their values – strongly opposed to racism, bullying and violence. Bamse is often seen helping those in needs and his slogan is
Beating up makes no one a better person.
Kukaan ei tule paremmaksi lyömällä.
Bamse (Maailman Vahvin Nalle) and his mates Lille Skutt (Pomppi) and Skalman (Kilpinen).
Herra Hakkarainen
was probably shopping for Lego Pirates Advent Calendar today as well. He’s taller than I thought. And no, I didn’t have heart to wake him up.^^
P.S. Finnish shops are finally allowed to be open on Sundays. About time!
