FOFA #556 - Russian Robocops - 11.26.07
By Marc Felion on November 25, 2007
Did you hear the one about the egg-shaped Russian robocop? As far as we know, this is a true story.
A Russian six-foot tall egg-shaped robot, hailed by the Russian police force as a bold new crime fighting tool broke down on it’s first day on the job, not because it couldn’t fail to comprehend the human notion of love, but because the rain made its circuits fry.
I think it actually would be adorable to be arrested by a short little egg shaped robotic police officer. Robots are SO gay. Think about it.
Twiki from Buck Rogers? Gay. HAL-9000? Persnickety. Star Wars’ C3PO? Flaming! Even real-life robot ASIMO swishes around like a flaming queen. I think I’ve even seen the Mars Sojourner Red Rover and the Unimate robotic arm getting it on.
Do you have $40 sitting around doing nothing? Well besides investing in your favorite podcast, you can invest it in real estate. Just don’t plan on being around to enjoy it. On today’s show Amanda Steinstein joins Marc Felion and me Fausto Fernós to talk about investment real estate but the really wacky kind.
One firm Lo’ihi Development will sell you a lot of Hawaiian real estate for $40, the catch is that you wont be able to step foot on it for probably three or four millennia, since it’s located 3,000 feet below sea level on a underwater volcano.
Another developer named Dennis Hope has made over NINE MILLION DOLLARS selling acres of land on the moon (as in the one that orbits the earth) for $20. How cute! A piece of paper for $20. He’s sold his lunar land plots to celebrities like Barbara Walters, George Lucas, the deceased Ronald Reagan and even the first President Bush. I don’t know why people think most celebrities mismanage their money.

We’re not sure how to approach a subject like this. The very disucssion of this sinster idea just might get others to copy it. Should we let this evil pink genie out of it’s brown amber colored bottle?
We’re talking about Strawberry Quick, and no it’s not a drag queen. The newswires are ablaze as […]

Just WHAT does the exultant phrase “Quarter Turns” mean? Boy do we get that question a lot.
Earlier this year in January, American Idol finalist Clay Aiken’s squeaky clean image had a bit of a tarnish when the National Enquirer printed the “sordid” details of his one night stand with North Carolinian real estate […]

Why do male computer voices sound gay? Is it their nasal superiority, their stoicism, or their crazy synthesized lisps that make them so?

Everybody loves a good gay villain. Openly gay swimmer and video producer Tyler Duckworth got the nation’s disapproval and sympathy for his pushy, aggressive behavior on MTV’s REal World: Key West last spring.
Audiences loved to hate his confrontational nature on the TV show, and we at home were left to think, do they hate him […]

Marsian De Lellis is in many ways in touch with something magical. We’re just not sure what that is, but in all his outlandish talk about full-body botoxes and Whole Foods Express at the airports, he makes a lot of sense. If you ask me, the guy’s a freakin genius.
On today’s show Marsian, our in-house […]
