i heard about some tv show i think it was called bot wars that pits robots against each other in battle.
On the comedy network is "BATTLEBOTS" a great 30 min show.
each show has three battles between two RC armored robots.
It is held behind bullet proof plexi walls for a live audiance. The playing field is riddled with buzzsaws and trap doors. It's pure hell and very violent but much more cleaned up than Survival Research. It seams more like those MIT bot competitions. ...and more than enough reason for dave to GET CABLE !
Here's the robot's site. I still don't think I want cable, but if you move to Canada you can see the Olympics in real time.
i swear, im trying. its harder than i thought. they said something about the color of my money.
I was in Canada recently and they happily took US currency, then gave back more in change than I was spending. Funny thing, though: you couldn't give theirs away on the US side of the border.
My current currency favorites are the state quarters for South Carolina, featuring the Carolina Wren (check out the cool song; I hear it in the Park a lot, lately), and Connecticut, with the Treaty Oak. Even in the 21st Century, shamanic totem identification with the natural world is going strong (now if we'd just quit destroying those trees and birds…).
