'Goddess' gives elixir

(link to Telegraph)

An 82-year old Indian man claims to have had no food or drink for 70 years! Sounds ridiculous, until we consider that the man in question is a breatharian and receives his nourishment from a mystical elixir given to him by a goddess whom he refuses to name. Prahlad Jahni left home when he was 7 to become a sadhu, and he says he stopped eating and drinking when he was 12. There may be doubters among us, however Prahlad was monitored for 15 days in hospital, and did not consume food or drink.

Lovable little rascal Bart Simpson is always finding himself in detention scrawling some truly bizarre and hilarious lines as punishment. Now you get a good opportunity to make sure of everything he wrote. Every line Bart Simpson ever wrote on his humble classroom blackboard has been compiled and scrawled - Bartman style - on a huge blackboard. A video documenting this project can be seen on this website.

Japanese Thought Technology goes BMI

(link to Telegraph)

Japan is developing a new generation of consumer electronics devices that can read a user's mind and respond to their wishes automatically.

These machines use brain-machine interface (BMI) technology that lets users use thought to perform tasks remotely. For example, you could change the TV channel or turn on the air conditioner with your mind. There is also a suggestion from mastermind Mr Yamauchi that this technology can be installed in an automobile that will sense when the driver is hungry, and promptly drive to the nearest Wendy's family restaurant. However, this technology opens a can of worms that Phillip and Alison can barely scratch the surface of in this brief conversation. And yes, it is possible to scratch the surface of a can of worms!

The first robot wedding?

This article about a high-tech wedding in Japan featuring the i-Fairy in the role of priest/minister.
A Chicago couple dispute the claim that this is the first robot wedding, as their wedding years ago was conducted by the Nuptron-4000.
In an earlier episode, we featured a story about Tiro the robot who acted as the master of ceremonies at a South-Korean wedding.

In light of these facts and allegations, it may not actually be the case that i-Fairy was the first robot minister! You be the judge! Comment on what you think.
