Not everyone is happy to see Curiosity

Today was quite an amazing day, Mars Robot Curiosity landed in a quite amazing fashion.

I wonder what the local resident thought of it? 

All green of skin... 800 centuries ago, their bodily fluids include the birth of half-breeds. For the fundamental truth self-determination of the cosmos, for dark is the suede that mows like a harvest.- Martian Ambassador from Mars Attacks

Can't stop getting Deviant Art portraits

Deviant Art is a great place to find creativity, lots of photos, 3D images and drawings. I like to get portraits done usually by artists with different styles, and I have now had about 12 or 13 by now.

Here I am with my friend Moggs Oceanline. I seem to have a power drill or a hairdryer, I'm not sure which one.

There are those times when your out and about, and that wonderful little latex outfit that you thought would be fantastic to wear while blasting rogue robots, goes a little bit wrong.

Sometimes you win, then there are times when the robot wins  :-(

In the fifties, it was predicted that in 5 years robots would everywhere.
In the sixties, it was predicted that in 10 years robots would be everywhere.
In the seventies, it was predicted that in 20 years robots would be everywhere.
In the eighties, it was predicted that in 40 years robots would be everywhere...

What reason for Censorship, Sex, Violence, and Robots

Censorship is an odd thing, usually it's "Think about the Children". In the past it was usually books on religion and Atheism that would be banned, now it's Harry Potter, and books that portray single mothers in a positive light.

In the lists above I added a few I made up, but believe it or not "Harm to Plantlife", and having an A cup breast size have been used in the past. Actually if a woman in a movie sex scene has an A cup breast size, the film will be banned in Australia.

I'm slightly annoyed that Blogger doesn't show these images better. Hopefully Flickr might due better.
