Zombie Monkey Projects: Odd Things For Odd People
The “female” in the video above is named Emily and she’s not human. Unlike us she’s not made of stars - she’s in fact made of pixels.
Created by Image Metrics, the same cats that brought us the ever-lovable graphics to the Grand Theft Auto franchise, Emily is so realistic that she has pretty much accomplished the Uncanny Valley phenomenon.
I foresee a new starlet in the Adult Entertainment Industry.

Apparently the LA Natural History Museum is using lobotomized dinosaurs to entertain and frighten the hell out of children and adults alike.
I have to be honest, I knew it would eventually come to this. Doctor Steel, a mad scientist who has been steadily making grounds for world domination through his toys and music, is now fully aware of Joss Whedon’s newest creation - Dr. Horrible, another mad scientist who has just begun his quest for world domination through just his music. And I think it’s safe to say that the rubber gloves have been thrown.
Doctor Steel fans, err I mean ‘troops’, have rallied behind their master for a full-on assault upon Whedon and his Dr. Horrible with Operation: Expose Dr. Horrible, a cunning plan that involves the ‘education’ of the Internet masses. They point out all of the similarities between these two diabolical Doctors beyond the whole singing and rubber gloves, such as:
Both use propaganda tools to spread their plans for world domination.
Both have a Q&A segment (”Ask Dr. Horrible” and “Ask Doctor Steel”).
Both have similar titles to their respective releases (Dr. Horrible’s “Sing-Along Blog” videos and Doctor Steel’s “Read-A-Long” album).
Joss, we like you and all so we’ll be kind enough to tell you this; Doctor Steel’s fans are like your fans - rabid, undyingly loyal and willing to do just about anything for their lord and master. Be ready.
And to give you a taste of what you’re up against Mr. Whedon , here’s one of Doctor Steels propaganda videos. Good luck.
From the “You can’t make this shit up” files, a team of scientists from the University of Amsterdam have discovered a parasitoid wasp that can somehow manipulate caterpillars into protect them.
An adult wasp will lay its eggs into the poor sucker and once they hatch the larvae begin to feed on their host. Once they develop to a certain point they break out of the caterpillar to cocoon themselves into a cluster nearby.
And this is where things get a little creepy. The caterpillar, still alive, stands sentinel over the cocooned larvae, protecting it from potential threats. It doesn’t leave, it doesn’t eat, it doesn’t rest. All it will do is loom over the clutch of cocoons and if anything comes too close it will shakes it’s upper half wildly until the threat is gone.
“We don’t know exactly what kills the caterpillars, but it is fascinating that the moment of death seems to be tuned to the duration of the wasp’s pupal stage,” says Arne Janssen of the University of Amsterdam.
What we have here folks are ZOMBIE CATERPILLARS.
You can read more about this unholy practice at New Scientist. In the meantime here’s a video demonstration of the zombie caterpillar.

What do you get when two types of geekdom, electric and gaming, collide? Video game themes played with musical Tesla coils. Very cool but still not as awesome as a Death Ray.
Mario Brothers…
Zelda…
