MONTERREY, Mexico – A car plowed into a bike race along a highway near the U.S.-Mexico border, killing one and injuring 10 others.

The 28-year-old driver was apparently drunk and fell asleep when he crashed into the race Sunday, police investigator Jose Alfredo Rodriguez said Monday.

A race which appears to have started during daylight hours, and this assclowns already drunk and driving around. Now I know that driving while drunk is a Mexican national hobby, but this guy appears to have been American so we can’t blame it on that.

Get it while its hot!

Because since I don’t have 9 feet of free space available for my wall, I will have to settle on a much smaller limited edition print of He-Mans Battle Cat. Honestly, I think it would look cooler with his armor.

 $225 is a tad bit steep for this. They should just make t-shirts instead. For you GI Joe fans, there is a limited edition Serpentor for sale as well (honestly, we all know that this is when GI Joe jumped the shark).

Other sweet ass discoveries today. Bacon Salt. I’m so on this.

This isn’t good, monkey robot mind control.

Monkeys controlling Robots. You know Sharks with laser eyes are just around the corner.

Using only its brainpower, a monkey can direct a robotic arm to pluck a marshmallow from a skewer and stuff it into its mouth, researchers said on Wednesday. “They are using a motorized prosthetic arm to reach out, grab and bring the food back to their face,” said Andrew Schwartz of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, whose study will appear in an upcoming issue of the journal Nature.

…The monkey guides the robot arm the same way it does its natural limbs, through brain signals.

Schwartz’ team picks up those signals through an array of microelectrodes half the size of a thumbtack that has been implanted in the monkey’s brain. These signals are amplified and relayed to a computer that operates the robotic arm.

Better start work on that gun collection and bomb shelter. Its almost like Planet of the Apes meets Terminator.
