Good news for the Uranian poets amongst you, because thanks to modern science, appaling vanity and $15,000, 50-year-old mother Janet Cunliffe now looks..exactly like her own daughter Jane.
In a move gauranteed to improve the whole mother/daughter fantasy you’ve been secretly hoarding, and possibly/hopefully creep the hell out of her husband, Janet states:
“The way I see it she got her looks from me in the first place, mine have just faded with age..”
Along with her morality/mental faculties it seems. Still, here’s to next year’s hottest trend!
It’s A flying Car! Only..it’s a bit crap too. The future is finally here, but it looks like someone just saw some crappy film from the 50s and decided “Hey, I can totally make one of those..and flog it for $194,000!!” (roughly £27 Sterling Economy fans). Anyway- get ‘em while their hot HERE
Ah Easter, for the irreligious Electric Spectre crew, it’s just an excuse to eat chocolate, but for the bizzare sect known as “Christi-ans” it apparently has something to do with a cave, a shroud, and a simple carpenter.
What better way then, to celebrate Jesus rising zombie-like form the grave, than a six foot statue made from LEGO! The popular children’s bricks have a multitude of uses, but this is the first case of blasphemous idolotry we could find.
The 30,000 brick statue at Onsta Gryta church in Vasteras, Sweden, is a copy of Danish (naturally) sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen’s “Christus” statue on display in Copenhagen.
After a night out, there’s always at least one member of staff at ES suffering from the delusion that there are bugs under their skin, and thanks to Canadian scientists, that’s one fantasy that may actually come true fairly soon-behold their latest invention: A swarm of insects capable of performing surgery!
Not content with the little buggers being able to slice n’ dice the average human however, these boys have multiple object-manipulation capabilities, enabling them to tool around with stuff that we humans, with our clumsy fat thumbs, haven’t got a hope of touching. According to Behrad Kamasee, head of research at Waterloo University:
“We are the first in the world to make such a floating robot equipped with micro-grippers. It can enter virtually any space and can be operated in a sealed enclosure by a person outside, which makes it useful for handling bio-hazardous materials or working in vacuum chambers and clean rooms,”
In addition the ‘bots carry tiny lasers for chopping you up/reparing delicate machinery, and utilise magnetic levitation. Flying, laser robots that can cut through you. Run!
As a warning to all those who have dreams of owning and maintaining an elaborate and expensive aquarium at home: there is a risk of awaking certain horrors ov nature such as the one shown above, discovered at Newquay’s Blue Reef Aquarium.
Workers at the Cornwall-based attraction had been left scratching their heads as to why the coral had been left devastated and – in some cases – cut in half.
Staff eventually lured it out with fish scraps, but not before it bit through 20lb fishing line.
Matt Slater, the aquarium’s curator, said: ‘Something was guzzling our reef but we had no idea what, we also found an injured Tang Fish so we laid traps but they got ripped apart in the night.
‘That worm must have obliterated the traps. The bait was full of hooks which he must have just digested.’
This bastard is 4 feet long, except it had managed to disguise itself in such a manner that the curators had to dismantle the whole display to find what shockingly horrific turd-imitator was destroying their carefully balanced ecosystem.
