A freakishly mutated, but very adorable six-legged, dual penis-ed puppy has been found snoozing outside a Malaysian temple. The (very, very sweet looking) monstrosity has been taken in by the temple and given the name Ong Fatt (Lucky One).

No word yet on whether or not he will become the subject of a Disney film directed by Tim Burton.

You know that secretly, you have always wanted to live secure, far about the ground, in an Ewok style village. Well, now you can. These nuts are building fiberglass and wood laminate spheres that can be hung from trees and connected together with hanging ramps and stairs.

I would also like to point out such a village would be relatively zombie-proof, since we all know that zombies can't climb trees. You just have to pull up the rope ladders in time - And hope they don't enlist the help of Zombie Beavers (heh - beavers).

Wow Wee toys is creating a series of life-like, animated, remote-controlled robot heads that include stereoscopic hearing so they can track your position and even your distance away. Wow Wee's first demonstration of this technology is a frighteningly real looking monkey head with a fully articulated face. The expected price: $129.

Now you know what to get me for Christmas, and can probably guess what you are all getting...

And yes, I got this from a site that specializes in monkey news.

NASA has built a 50 foot tall robot - out of flowers - a giant rose-bot, if you will. This killing machine will be seen as a float in the Rose Parade, making it possibly the only thing ever worth watching the Rose parade for. According to a NASA spokesdrone: "The robot will wow the crowds with special effects ranging from smoke from the robot's rockets to strobe lights and animation. A remote control Web camera inside the robot's head will provide an unprecedented view of the parade route". Also, precise weapon targeting.
