Here is a clever bit of writing. A humorous depiction of what aliens might think of humans Ha Ha ! They might think we are meat and not worth the effort to contract. Is this the reason we are having difficulty communicating with alien species out there in the universe because they are simply avoiding us ? Its not a very long piece of writing so give it a read. It gives a whole new perspective on the how creatures from outer space might think of us.

Video of robot dog : Amazing !

Here is a video of an amazing robot called the LittleDog Robot. I'm not sure that it resembles a little dog but more a giant insect. What is amazing is it's agility, it's ability to walk or crawl over various rough and smooth surfaces, get over a small fence, climb stairs, climb over gaps. It just keeps going and going.

It's bizarre in that it is a mechanical object made of solid materials but it looks like a real animal with real thought processes, quite surreal !!

Video : mountain biker hit by giant antelope

In South Africa this guy is in a race out in the bush on his mountain bike and he gets charged by a giant antelope called a Red Hartebeest. This antelope is one big beast and must have seen the biker as some short of rival in his territory. The mountain biker got one big shock, because it's just not the type of thing you would expect is it ? He ended up with a bruised head and surely one big headache but he appears OK after this amazing encounter with nature.
