Overnight Open Thread (Mætenloch)

Good evening M&Ms! It's all downhill after hump day.

Oh and we have some upcoming holidays: Friday (11/20) is Kick A Ginger day so sharpen those boots and get your hate on. And Saturday (11/21) is Talk Like A Hobo day.

Robot Inspects High Voltage Lines
Here's a Japanese robot that rolls along live high voltage lines and inspects them for damage and corrosion. It's able to swing itself over cable connectors and suspension clamps.

High tech and all but kinda ho-hum you say? Well just watch this video to see how inspections are currently done by humans:

Super Mario Brothers Rob Taxi Driver
With video. And who was the tuxedo man?

Alexandra McQueen's Hot New Alien Shoes
Well they sure don't look comfortable.

Vanished Persian Army Found in Desert
2500 years ago a Persian army was buried in the Egyptian desert by a sandstorm and the wrath of Mithra.

The Beautiful Women of Siberia
Almost makes it worth it to move to a frozen wasteland.

Tonight's post brought to you by roleplaying:
