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.
The podcast that won’t break down in the rain- Feast of Fools.

I agree that all robots are gay.

March 28, 2008 at 01:45Love this show. I also love when Marc & Fausto do the sexy Hal 9000 and Macintosh Ralph computer voices. They make a great couple.
I think that robots in the future will have more emotions like androids and it will be hard to tell the difference. Who knows?
Maybe like this androgynous robot… It almost made me sad he was leaving the inventors.

Thanks guys. I always thought they should call the drag show “Flowers in the Attic.” After all, the drag show takes place in an attic and drag queens are like flowers.
