This is according to respected Scottish paleontologist and speculative zooologist Douglas Dixon. I don't know about you, but I'm glad I won't be here!!
It's called the Kissinger. It is a small skype-ready robotic pig that will send the sensation of your unique lips and kiss over the internet to the person you are skyping with (assuming they also have a Kissinger). Now you can kiss your loved ones good night no matter where they are!
Shipwreck hunters have now found TWO huge circular objects on the floor of the Baltic Sea! It appears as if something crashed into the ocean from the air and broke apart over a 900 foot long field of destruction. What the heck is it? They plan to began exploring the area this Spring. Lots of folks are comparing it to the Milenium Falcon (pictured on the right)
According to several reports, two fisherman in Brazil were casting from shore and reeled in this horrible looking creature that they are calling the Hell Fish!! Is this some elaborate hoax that I am just not familiar with, or do these things really swim just off shore with their giant man-crushing teeth?? I'm hoping it is a hoax!! What do you think?
Say hello to little Nong Youhui. He is a very unique young man. When he was born, his family marveled at his bright blue eyes, which are unusual for Asians. But it is much more than the color of Nong's eyes that has experts stumped...his eyes glow in the dark when light hits them...much like a cat. And Nong can see perfectly in almost total darkness!!
We only know this fella by his EBAY name of Heppcatt.
You truly have to admire Heppcatt's "stick-to-it-ness"! A friend challenged him with a wager: Heppcatt was to type the entire novel "Moby Dick" onto rolls of toilet paper. Heppcatt accepted that wager and went to work. And now finally, after years of painstakingly typing each letter of this lengthy tome, Heppcatt has won that wager! And you can now own this incredible piece of determination! Heppcatt is selling his toilet paper copy of "Moby Dick" on EBAY! I wonder how much money he won in the wager?
Dante was building a shed in his backyard over the weekend and was so pleased with his project when he was finished. But the next morning he woke up nauseated and just not feeling well. His girlfriend finally convinced him to see a doctor and that's when they found the source of his malaise: a four inch nail was embedded in his brain!! He had shot himself in the head with a nailgun the previous day and didn't even notice it!!

Lumberjacks for the Canadian Forestry Department were working in deep in the thick forests of Alberta last week when they encountered a bizarre, haunting sound. Remember...these guys are in the middle of nowhere with no trains or automobiles within hundreds of miles from them. What on earth to you think it is??
The last time we checked on this incredibly realistic humanoid robot, he was just "learning" how to speak and control his facial movements. Now he is able to actually carry on a conversation! He starts very basic, but as he picks up cues from the person talking to him, he begins to learn! And if you are afraid robots will someday control all of us humans, you are NOT going to like what he says towards the end of the video!! Fast forward to 2:28!! WE ARE ALL DOOMED!!
This dance troupe from Russia, The Berezka Ensemble has perfected a dance step that makes it appear that they are floating across the stage! Fast forward to about 1:20 to see this amazing feat!! Nobody knows how they do it...do you think they might actually be floating??
How would you like to stumble into this guy in a dark retail stockroom? That is exactly what employees of a sporting goods store in NYC found lurking in their stockroom!
A farmer in China was furious over the theft of vegetables from his farm on a nightly basis. He and his sons camped out in different parts of the farm for weeks trying to catch the culprits, but just were not having any luck. The theives were just too smart. Finally, the local police department got involved and set up motion-activated cameras and look at what they found! It is a goat riding a monkey from a local circus that was creeping onto the farm every night to steal the veggies!
How would you like to have this little guy IN YOUR NOSE??? That's exactly where he was hanging out: in a teenager's nose! Fortunately doctors were able to successfully remove it. Ugggh!!
Then you need the "The Dogone Dog Gas Neutralizing Pad" ! You simply strap the charcoal-lined "thong" to the southbound end of your dog, and they can break wind as much as they want without anybody being the wiser! (At least that's what the manufacturer says...I'm not so sure!)
Hey fellas, if you are swimming in the waters of Papua New Guinea and you see this cute little fella nearby, grab ahold of "your boys" and swim for your life towards the shore! This little guy has been dubbed by locals, the "b*ll-cutter" fish because of its love of one particular part of the male anatomy. YIKES!!
Meet Kanzi. He is a bonobo-pygmy chimpanzee and he has picked up some remarkable abilities. Not only can he start a fire with matches...he actually cooks his own meals!!
Scientists in Canada have figured out a way to coax the DNA in common ants to make them grow to the sizes they were 60 million years ago! Let's hope none of these little fellas escape from the lab!
It's a brand new year and a brand new strange piglet has just been born in China! Everytime we think we've seen the strangest little piggy from China, another comes along and takes the prize. The very good news for this two-snouted porker, is that the farmer is going to raise him as a pet and rescue him from his otherwise fate of ending up as dinner!! Oink Oink!
I would love it!! A woman in New Zealand was shocked to find this adorable little fella asleep on her sofa! He apparently wandered in through the cat door and hims was so awfully tired from his journey, he had to lay down his gentle head for a snooze!!! I'm getting a cat door tonight just in case!!
So what the heck is THIS? Protestors at Bolotnaya Square in Moscow were stunned when this thing flew over their heads. Hundreds of people witnessed it and they all described it very similarily: it was larger than any aircraft they had ever seen, it was silent, and it had five tentacles or beams stretching out from the side of the craft. Is it some type of military spy craft? Nobody seems to know...or at least they aren't saying!
A nature expert in New Zealand spent months hunting this little fella down in the New Zealand jungles....it is a type of Wati and this guy is thought to be the largest insect in the world!!
Look at this peculiar object discovered in an Egyptian tomb in 200 B.C. Sure does look like an airplane doesn't it? Is it the scale model for an aircraft?
And check out these carvings from a temple in Egypt from about the same time...sure does look like airplanes to me!
And finally have a gander at this "trinket" which is over a thousand years old and was found in the coastal regions of South America....sure does bear an uncanny resemblance to the space shuttle doesn't it?!
Woodley's owner had just parked the RV outside of a grocery store and ran inside to pick up a few items. But Woodley apparently grew tired of waiting, so he released the handbrake and headed down the hill where he was parked. And observers said he did a great job driving and he avoided hitting any pedestrians or cars in his mile long journey! Fortunately a passerby saw what was happening and he was able to run and catch up with the vehicle and hop on the side and engage the handbrake from the driver's window.
We already knew that octopi in captivity are able to escape from their enclosures with remarkable frequency.  And now finally someone captured video of an octopus leaving his familiar watery dwelling and heading out on dry land in search of a meal! How would you like to run into this guy in a dark hallway?
Hopefully the answer is no!  She was just arrested in Florida for performing illegal cosmetic procedures without a license.  She was injecting her "patient's" buttocks with a mixture of cement, fix-a-flat and superglue.   She promised her victims they would be able to show off a new butt that looked almost as good as hers!
Peruvian anthropologist Renato Davila Riquelme has discovered the remains of an unidentified creature with a "triangle shaped" skull nearly as large as its 20-inch-tall body.    And scientists in both Russia and Peru are claiming the body is not from this planet!
Say hello to Fei; a performance artist in China that has been delighting crowds for over 30 years. What is his act? He sticks highly venemous snakes in his nose and lets them crawl out of his mouth!!   Scroll down for pictures and video.
!!!WARNING!!!!
!!!! DISTURBING IMAGES BELOW!!!!
IF YOU DON'T LIKE SNAKES....OR GROSS STUFF....OR THINGS IN PEOPLE'S NOSES COMING OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS....DO NOT WATCH THE VIDEO!!!
Then you need to get him or her one of these adorable robotic bear pillows!  Jukusui-Kun is a sweet, soft bear that monitors your oxygen levels and any sounds you make while you sleep. If you begin to snore, Jukusui-Kun will gently tap your face...keep up the snoring and the taps become more intense.  Nighty night!
In a constant attempt to make ourselves stand out from the crowd and show our uniqueness, folks are coming up with more creative ways to show our individuality. Remember this type of eye jewelry?
It is created by placing the metal or jewel under a transparent layer of the eye.
But another type of eye jewelry is catching on..this type uses a contact lense with a piece of medical-grade wire attached to the "jewelry".
Forget those silly press on eyeballs that I told you about a while back...you need to get a permanent eyeball tattooed on your eyelid! And tattoo artists are claiming that this is becoming more and more popular!!
Then you are not going to like this video one little bit!!!!    A robotics expert is creating a robot version of a colossal snake that lived amongst the dinosaurs.  It is called a Titanoboa and it will eventually be 50 feet long and weigh over a ton...just like the real snake!!  The final version will be covered with "skin" and will be able to swim underwater!   Here is robot Titanoboa's first meeting with another huge robot, Mondo the spider!  Enjoy!!
That is exactly what it is according to the woman that found it!   She says she heard a loud thud outside of her house and found this guy, wearing a one-piece garmet lying next to a bunch of metal.   The body was said to be extremely hot and she wrapped it in blankets and put it in her refrigerator.  She then called the Karelian Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences to come and investigate.  They sent two staff members to her house and they left with the body.   What do you think it is?
Check out these images from Google Earth that show unidentified titanic structures in the middle of the Chinese desert. The first one is an intricate network of what appears to be huge metallic stripes. Is this a military experiment?
It's located in Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Gansu, north of the Shule River, which crosses the Tibetan Plateau to the west into the Kumtag Desert. It covers an area approximately one mile long by more than 3,000 feet wide.
The second structure seems to be some kind of giant targeting grid, also north of the Shule river.
If you zoom in, you can see vehicles destroyed. It's west of what seems to be a fairly big electrical station or a radio station similar to HAARP, the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program located near Gakona, Alaska, and funded by the US Air Force, the US Navy, the University of Alaska, and DARPA.
This one may the strangest of them all. Thousand of lines intersecting in a titanic grid that is about 18 miles long. Another targeting grid?
This is another HUGE grid, similar to the first photo.
I definitely don't like the looks of this one!  Is it for military target practice?  Check out the jet fighters in the center.
Here is a weird airport-like structure. Except it's bright cyan. Seems full of water or made of a weird material. And look at the other airport-like structure next to it. Perhaps a decoy?
This is a huge complex, ten by five miles at least. Are these huge precipitation pools of some kind? If you zoom in Google maps (see the image below this one), you could see two cooling towers like those used in nuclear plants, as well as several water treatment plants.
French dancer Dominique Boivin's partner is a bit clunky, cumbersome, and not very graceful....because his partner is a five ton bucket shovel!! He dances with a tractor!!
These are the motorized boxers controlled by two drivers who battle to deliver chin-lifting uppercuts for victory. Similar to bumper cars, a driver up to 300 lbs. sits inside the robot's protective steel cage cockpit and uses a thumb-triggered button on two independent joysticks to activate two pneumatic-powered, tire-tread-fisted arms, which throw upward punches at an opposing robot's head.  Want a pair for your very own? Just CLICK HERE to place your order! Oh and by the way...it'll set you back $17,000.00!!
This little fella just keeps getting more and more amazing...or scary!!
He...or it...can now run at a maximum speed of 9 kilometers per hour, jump up and down for as long as it wants, and even hop on one leg, should it ever need to. Plus, its hands are now more dexterous than ever thanks to independent finger operation. (SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO)
Barry Chappell's Nicorette gum collection weighs 175 pounds. He's been collecting it for six years,
carefully adding new pieces to his giant gum ball measuring 62 inches in circumference.
So big it's actually registered as the world's largest...
This is according to respected Scottish paleontologist and speculative zooologist Douglas Dixon. I don't know about you, but I'm glad I won't be here!!
