Cyberdyne and HAL: two great tastes in robotics to destroy humanity

We’ve talked about Cyberdyne, the Japanese company of the future present, before here on SG. It’s been quite some time since their name was uttered on our website, but it seems they’re at it again.

What was once used exclusively for old people is now being sent in the direction of disaster response: specifically for first responders of nuclear accidents.

Somehow, using HAL suits manufactured by Cyberdyne for nuclear matters makes the science nerd in cringe and fear for the future.

Criminals get in the Halloween spirit

When you walk into almost any store, you find candy, masks and fake cobwebs. That can only mean one thing: it’s almost Christmas! But before we can celebrate that, we have a lesser-known holiday called Halloween, where everyone dresses up and there’s some general spookiness. Not in the spirit yet? We’ll fix that.

A 76-year-old man in Pennsylvania is currently in custody after, according to police, he attacked his roommate with a chainsaw. The man cut through a door and then swung the chainsaw at his roommate, they say. Somehow, the chainsaw got caught on the roommate’s shirt, which also somehow allowed him to pin his attacker with an umbrella. Spooky!

Not enough?

In New Jersey, they still haven’t quite figured out that PCP is a really bad thing. Cops over there say that a 29-year-old man, high on the drug, stripped naked in the middle of a busy intersection and started attacking cars, even hopping on the hood of one car, and trying to pull the driver out which piqued their interest. Once arrested, he tried to gnaw his way out of handcuffs, defecated in the the back of a cop car, and then bit off and swallowed his own finger in jail.

Now you’re spooked.

 

Taking fantasy literally

Ready readers, here comes a shocker, high schoolers are having sex. Strange, right? Well one school in Los Angeles had its male students take a spin off of fantasy football and created a sexual version that involved points for documented activity with select female students.

Back in our day, The Guys were busted for holding hands in the hallway … with girls, not with each other.

Eat My Sports: The one where we talk about Lance Armstrong again

Yes, we know. McBournie already gave you his opinion on this yesterday, and now I’m here for mine. And my opion on the whole Lance Armstrong getting dropped from Nike, banned from cycling amid all these allegations is this: I don’t care.

Cycling is about as boring as it gets when it comes to sports. A bunch of dudes wearing tights pushing a couple wheels around doesn’t get anyone really going. It never did, until Armstrong came back from being almost dead and won seven Tour de France titles in a row. And guess what? No one has given a crap about the sport ever since.
