They are a lazy bunch.

[asandir]

indeed, and when not sleeping they're eating

[Omega_Destroyer]

At least it's a relaxing life.

[asandir]

very, I'd maybe find it a little too boring, though I could use some sleep

[vulnevia]

That very very fat kid someone linked a video to a few pages back has lost 136 kilos, http://aftonbladet.se/vss/halsa/story/0 ... 75,00.html, the page is in swedish though, but you can still compare the before and after pictures.

[Elvin]

Yeah if you stare carefully you may see some change.

[Panda Tar]

Yeah if you stare carefully you may see some change.

If you stare even to the opposite direction from the screen you'll see the difference.

Poor girl, I mean, ex-fat girl. I can't read that, but it's sure it was a disease or any freaky abnormal illness.

[vulnevia]

Yeah, her parents wasn't the thinnest ppl, when she was born her dad weight 227 kilo and her mom almost 200 So i guess the parents just fed her the same as she ate, and she got really mad when she didn't get her food.
Really hope she can stick to her weight and be like a normal kid

The Terminator prototype is here, and he's all cuddly:

Bear robot rescues wounded troops

The US military is developing a robot with a teddy bear-style head to help carry injured soldiers away from the battlefield.

The Battlefield Extraction Assist Robot (BEAR) can scoop up even the heaviest of casualties and transport them over long distances over rough terrain.

New Scientist magazine reports that the "friendly appearance" of the robot is designed to put the wounded at ease.

It is expected to be ready for testing within five years.

While it is important to get medical attention for injured soldiers as soon as possible, it is often difficult and dangerous for their comrades to reach them and carry them back.

The 6ft tall Bear can cross bumpy ground without toppling thanks to a combination of gyroscopes and computer controlled motors to maintain balance.

It is also narrow enough to squeeze through doorways, but can lift 135kg with its hydraulic arms in a single smooth movement, to avoid causing pain to wounded soldiers.

While the existing prototype slides its arms under its burden like a forklift, future versions will be fitted with manoeuvrable hands to gently scoop up casualties.

The Bear is controlled remotely and has cameras and microphones through which an operator sees and hears.

It can even tackle stairs while carrying a human-sized dummy.

Daniel Theobald, the president of Vecna Technologies, which is developing the robot for the US Army, said: "We saw a need for a robot that can essentially go where a human can. The robot will be an integral part of a military team."

Gary Gilbert, from the US Army's Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Centre in Frederick, Maryland, said that the teddy bear appearance was deliberate.

"A really important thing when you're dealing with casualties is trying to maintain that human touch."

Vecna is working on other potential applications for the robot technology - including helping move heavy patients in hospital.

So, it must've been their fault. They should join the example if it hasn't happened yet. 227 kg is not really nice for ice skating - if you fall, it'll take about 3 minutes to stop fat from trembling; besides the fact of the ice exploding all around.

This sounds freaky. It's like soldiers had traumas during their childhood. If they have something like that for support, soldiers will know it either way. They should worry about colors, imho, instead of shapes. Maybe making it without anything on the face, but a soft shape, like a blurred mask.

[Elvin]

A Jason mask would be worse I guess.

[Panda Tar]

Maybe stimulating. They would run by their own.

Man, this made my family jewels hurt just by reading it:

Woman jailed for testicle attack
A woman who ripped off her ex-boyfriend's testicle with her bare hands has been sent to prison.

Amanda Monti, 24, flew into a rage when Geoffrey Jones, 37, rejected her advances at the end of a house party, Liverpool Crown Court heard.

She pulled off his left testicle and tried to swallow it, before spitting it out. A friend handed it back to Mr Jones saying: "That's yours."

Monti admitted wounding and was jailed for two-and-a-half years.

'Pulled hard'

Sentencing Monti, Judge Charles James said it was "a very serious injury" and that Monti was not acting in self defence.

The court heard that Mr Jones had ended his long-term but "open relationship" with Monti towards the end of May last year.

The pair remained on good terms and on 30 May she picked him up from a party in Crosby and went back for drinks with friends at Mr Jones's house.

An argument ensued and Mr Jones said there was a struggle between them.

In his statement, Mr Jones said she grabbed his genitals and "pulled hard".

He added: "That caused my underpants to come off and I found I was completely naked and in excruciating pain."

The court heard that a friend saw Monti put Mr Jones's testicle into her mouth and try to swallow it.

She choked and spat it back into her hand before the friend grabbed it and gave it back to Mr Jones. Doctors were unable to re-attach the organ.

In a letter to the court, Monti said she was sorry for what she had done.

She said: "It was never my intention to cause harm to Geoff and the fact that I have caused him injury will live with me forever. I am in no way a violent person."

The letter added: "I have challenged myself to explain what has happened but still I just cannot remember. This has caused much anguish to me and will do for the rest of my life."

[Corribus]

Uh...ouch. maybe you should post this in the love thread, as a warning.

[ThunderTitan]

But then i wouldn't be able to laugh at winterflake for having something in common with hitler...

[Corribus]

I'm sorry, but I don't buy it when a woman pulls hard enough to rip one of a guys nuts of through his pants, and then tries to EAT IT, and then says afterwards, "But I wasn't trying to hurt him, honestly." If there was justice, the guy would be allowed to rip one of her breasts off. Fair's fair. Am I right, am I right?

And by the way, for all you people who believe in that ridiculous intelligent design concept, NO WAY an intelligent designer hangs such sensitive organs on the outside. That's stupid design if you ask me. (damn sensitive external genitalia...)

[Panda Tar]

Breasts don't have anything to do with her fertility. She could have half of her inner sexual organs taken off.

If he has his right testicle yet, he can still have children, if not, she could have cement filled in her hole for sure.

[gravyluvr]

NO WAY an intelligent designer hangs such sensitive organs on the outside.

But think of how boring porn would be.

[Corribus]

But think of how boring porn would be.

Are you kidding? Those things just obstruct your view... well, so I've been told.

[Panda Tar]

But then, it could be like turtles:
