Horrible Outcome.

“Near-sighted humans develop the brain-reading tech future Robot Overlords will use to find and eradicate last remnants of our species”

“Leading sex researchers predict knowing what people think during sex likely to end sex altogether, eradicating species.”

“New tech dooms ‘High five up high, down low, too slow’ trick to extinction, world’s Uncles out of ideas.”

Or, as the stiff-upper-lipped BBC editor went with, “Science decodes ‘internal voices’.” Whatever, Beeb.

Science decodes ‘internal voices’

By Jason Palmer, Science and technology reporter, BBC News

Researchers have demonstrated a striking method to reconstruct words, based on the brain waves of patients thinking of those words.

The technique reported in PLoS Biology relies on gathering electrical signals directly from patients’ brains.

Based on signals from listening patients, a computer model was used to reconstruct the sounds of words that patients were thinking of.

Get well soon! . . . or kill yourself, depending.

Got this via Tessa, and Em pointed out how this clip illustrates the childhood relationship between my brother and myself. The tablecloth? The tablecloth, of course, is the fear of death.

Real dolls? Pffffft. THESE are real dolls.

After this, I don’t ever want to hear that my hobbies are weird. Not a word!

Russian ‘genius’ lived with 26 female bodies:

Russian media reported that Moskvina kept at least 26 bodies in his small, three-room apartment. They all belong to females aged between 15 and 26 who died years ago. The bodies were “dried up,” Interfax reported.

Life News reported that Moskvina, who is a historian and was also involved in journalism, visited hundreds of cemeteries at night and dug up the bodies with a shovel. He then put the remains in plastic bags and dragged them to his home.

Once the bodies were in his apartment, Moskvina dressed the bodies up as dolls. Photos released by Life News showed one skeleton wearing a dress, stockings and other clothing while another body appeared to have been dressed as a teddy bear.

I’m just talkin’ bout . . .

I used to think I was a good dad.

I’ve changed my share of diapers, loved up my little guy, carried him to and fro, bought the legion of requisite baby crap and soothed him at night when he gets scared. I feed him, play with him, can always make him laugh and someday I’m going to teach him how to convince a better-looking and more intelligent woman than you to agree to marry you and have your kids.

So I used to think I was a good, maybe even great dad. And then I saw this.

Best. Toy. Evar?
