The Robot That Loves To Be Hugged

“A robot that “enjoys” being cuddled and stroked has gone on display at London’s Science Museum. The Heart Robot could be among the first robots to signify a new era of “emotional machines” used for medical treatment and enjoyment, according to one of its inventors. It has a beating heart which rises when the body is shaken, but slows down when treated calmly.” w/ video

Ancient Pirate Gun

“Weighing 150 pounds and resembling a cannon more than a firearm, a huge, brass-barreled, portable field piece has been recovered from the sea, where a pirate lost it, and added to a collection of ancient guns in Pasadena, Calif. The gun was one of those used by the pirate, Hippolyte de Bouchard, when he and 400 followers sacked Monterey in 1818. In returning to their ship, the men lost this gun when a small boat overturned. In later years, it was recovered by fishermen who saw it on the ocean floor at low tide.” w/ photo

Horse Wrestling Festival

“What do the Spanish do when they are not bull-fighting? They wrestle wild horses. The Rapa das bestas is an ancient festival in Galicia, Spain. People gather all the untamed horses in a corral, where men and women of all ages wrestle them to the ground with their bare hands to cut their manes and tales out and brand them. This fiesta goes on for about three days starting the first Saturday of July.” w/ photos

Confused Crow Thinks It’s A Dog

“With his sleek black feathers, sharp beak and wings there would seem to be little disputing the facts: this is a crow. It’s just a shame no one has got round to explaining that Jack – the bird that thinks he’s a dog. When the Notaro-Livingstone family first discovered their confused pet he was too small to fend for himself and so they took him in and cared for him.” w/ photos
