Day: June 19, 2013

As an online doctor,* I get a lot of questions about diet, especially this time of year when everyone’s trying to lose weight in time for wearing wedding formal wear and swimsuits. Which diet works best, which one’s healthiest for you, which one requires the least math, which one lets me eat the same s**t that made me fat in the first place, etc.

So, rather than answer every single letter, I’m going to devote the next several Dr. Snee columns to reviewing fad diets. Together, we (but mostly I) will explore a trendy diet:

• What it claims to do.
• What it really does.
• How you’re probably being mislead with — what we call in the medial community — bulls**t.

This week’s fancy diet is the Paleo Diet. Continue reading A Dr. Snee Special Report: The Paleo Diet

While we’ve told you before about the danger of merging robots and animals together, it’s been quite some time since we needed to do so. Frankly, perhaps we at SeriouslyGuys became complacent and lax in our duty.

That time of relaxation is over.

A Swiss robot designed in the image of a cat, named “cheetah-cub robot” (which shall be called “Cheetor” in order to both gain nerd cred and troll nerds), has been unveiled to the world. While the size of a house cat, it’s able to run as fast an adult moving quickly. Perhaps the initial blueprint was for Cheetor to be a search and rescue type machine, but think of the horror it can inflict:

• A kamikaze type bomb that can move faster than our slovenly lot can handle.
• A creature that can quickly trip up supply lines, much less destroy our ACL tendons.
• Hello? Bladewolf, anyone?

We need to act now. End the madness that is Cheetor. Smelt while you still can.

As we reported earlier, the NRA and other gun lobbying groups are getting very serious about toy guns. And now one group is* taking their toys to the streets of our nation’s capital in a march to protest gun control measures in schools, including those against toy guns, Pop-Tarts shaped like guns and gun-related t-shirts.

So, if you live in or plan to visit Washington, D.C. on the July 4th weekend, brace yourself for a lot of whining from participants about their toy guns being taken away. Oh, and from their kids, too.

*Editing Note: In the original post, we lumped the libertarian group behind the Toy Gun March in with the NRA and other gun lobbyists. The group stated in our comments that they are affiliated with neither.

Folks, we’ve warned for years that aliens are out there, and we have no reason to believe they come in peace. Really, they’re just like any other living thing, out to get us. But now, people are trying to hasten an interstellar war we aren’t ready for.

The maniacs at a company called Lone Signal are working on a website that will allow people to send single, tweet-like messages to a star 17 light years away. This means that in however many years it takes the message to travel there, plus however long it takes our alien foes to translate it, we could be inundating them with messages letting them know that we’ve got Bieber fever.

If that’s not justification to destroy our planet, we don’t know what is.
