* Secondhand (German) Patriots to Seoul?
* The Internet as an ‘open university of jihad?‘
* Humm(er)ing along
* The Arms Control Wonk on the National Ignition Facility

* Eighteen-foot bi-pedal exo-skeletal semi-robotic vehicle — on ebay! (Backstory here.)

Re.: “Eighteen-foot bi-pedal exo-skeletal semi-robotic vehicle – on ebay”
Well, on one hand, Carlos Owens should definitely be applauded for thinking outside the box (although it’s quite a big box, in this case), and he deserves to make good some of his expenses on his “Mecha Warrior Mk I”.
On the other hand, I’m not quite sure what tells us the most about human nature: That Owens actually believes he can sell this monstrosity on ebay, or that he almost certainly can.
I also wonder what kind of gas milage you’d get on one of these things ?. Can’t be much worse than a Hummer H2, anyway. Just the thing for picking up those fresh breakfast rolls on Sunday morning.
As always, I am,
Yours faithfully etc.
