When I was young, I always assumed it would occur to me one day, out of the blue, what I wanted to do with my life. I just didn't know that the day would be August 19, 2010, and the thing would be competitive rabbit jumping.
Two guys play an entire game of Monopoly in 21 seconds:
This is about 20 seconds longer than I can stand to play Monopoly for.
At first it's just your average video of three girls from the 1940s singing about potato salad. But about a minute in, it gets weird.

You guys will never guess what happened! This guy's cat did something funny, so get this--he put a video of it ON THE INTERNET! I KNOW! Watch:
I was totally behind Japan when they came out with the robotic baby seal, but this is creepy. From this article:
A group of students in Japan have created an eerily realistic robot baby to motivate young people to start planning a family and boost the country's plunging birth rate.
The automated doll developed at the University of Tsukuba, called Yotara, giggles and "wakes up" when a rattle is shaken.
He sulks and dozes off like a real baby and smiles when his stomach is rubbed.
The robot can also sneeze and have a runny nose, thanks to a heated water pump system.
THE ROBOT WILL ALSO HAUNT YOUR DREAMS. Watch the video:
Somehow I do not see Japanese birth rates shooting through the roof because of this thing.

Speaking of melted brains, I have been at a conference all week listening to dry speakers speaking dryly about dry subjects; please forgive my absence. I would much rather have been here with you.Cat of the day:
