Aibo is a "cute" and "cuddly" robot dog that had it's heyday then disappeared. Until recently when Sony re-released a newer, creepier version. It also cost $3000 and basically spies on you with it's smell-o-vision and 180 degree butt camera. Thankfully not that many were made and the ones that were broken or neglected ended up at a Buddhist monastery. We shit you not.

In 1997 Gene Ray started documenting his theory of everything; Time Cube, an incomprehensible, pseudo-scientific idea that everything is a cube, or a square (we're still not sure), where each day is actually four days occurring simultaneously. There's also some weird stuff about race, academia teaching "human stupidity", and a $1,000 (or $10,000) bet that you can't disprove him.

TripAdvisor is the most popular tourism website in the US and is a great resource for finding travel destinations and restaurants. That is of course as long as they are real and exist. The Shed at Dulwich was only real in the minds of those who wanted to reserve a table at what sounded like a new upscale, farm-to-table eatery. Oobah Butler had other plans, mainly to see if he could get The Shed to the number one spot on TridAdvisor's list of restaurants. Linktree Find out more at http://20kleagu...
