One Birth, Bat Wings Not Included

A Japanese fetus model set from 1877.

Sunny Side Up

This 1937 invention of the Chelsea Baby Club Of London, designed to free up time for nannies by sparing them the exhaustion of taking high rise/tenement tots for a stroll in the park, didn't quite catch on...


...and I'm sure the baby-sized opening between the cage edge and the window ledge is simply an optical illusion caused by poor photography, and not the reason for it's failure.

Sweeney Nam Nam

The William Sweeney designed video for Birdy Nam Nam's The Parachute Ending.

The Marxist Moonbot

This is your new best friend, Big Loo...






...beware his deadly nipple darts!

Plastic Fantastic

Amazing, and I think, perversely effective.

I probably wouldn't even be able to shake a person's hand without wearing a latex glove if I'd seen this safe sex ad campaign at a early age.

The Remington Steel Reassembly

Jeremy Mayer's beautiful typewriter reassembly sculpture.

In An Age Of Monsters, HE Was The Mightiest Of All!

Jack Kirby's Devil Dinosaur only lasted nine issues, but not for want of Kirby-ness.

Starring the Lucille Ball of T-Rex's, Devil Dinosaur, it also featured his best friend/jockey Moon Boy, assorted robots, a revisionist alien intervention Adam & Eve story, time travel, The Hag Of The Bog, Manhattan, and...


...giant ants!

Machinarium

Jakub Dvorsky's webgame, to be released in the fall of 2009.

Robogeisha

This trailer is too insane for words to explain, but if Death By Fantail Shrimp is on the menu, I'm there!

C.H.U.D., Tokyo Style

This is what the sewage system of Japan looks like.




"American urban planning" just became a punchline...

Gepetto Gnu-Gaxzelle Tin

I resized a bunch of my critters for a series of tins to be sold at WILBUR Vintage at some point this summer.

The Emotibot Revolution

Leave it to the Japanese to invent a robot that displays seven different human emotions, including joy, sadness and disgust.


To express disgust the robot prototype, named Kobian "purses its lips and withdraws one hand in an effeminate manner".


It has soft rubber hands, and is being developed for use in nursing (!); what else to say that the video clip below doesn't:

The Brain With Eight Arms

For all his mental might, it took Brain Boy 3.5 seconds to realize that she'd only stay with him if he belly-flopped her into unconsciousness.


Perhaps The Lonesome Octopus would have had more friends if he didn't insist on attending all of his play-dates in blackface.

The Romulan And The Angry Robot

Jesse Philips inspired Hedwig poster (that I foolishly waited too long to buy, and now it's apparently out of print), and a gorgeous piece of Star Trek promo work he did.
