My wife's womb is so boring. I'd rather her have a unique one like this, but still with our fetus inside of it. I'm thinking something like:

GitEmSteveDave's wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tubeman and fetus emporium!

GitEmSteveDave's wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tubeman and fetus emporium!

GitEmSteveDave's wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tubeman and fetus emporium!

I don't think that's asking for too much...

You know, Steampunk is so 2008. The new cool is MemePunk.

Is the robot set to be "born" on August 29th 1997 2:14 am Eastern Time?

@BeerManMike: Why that date? (I looked in the article and didnt see it.)

Frankly I find the "Fetus" object to be disturbing.

I am very glad that there is still SOMETHING that I find disturbing in life.

@daed: I looked it up and now I know. I wasnt a big fan of Terminator(s), too much violence for me, though I did see the first and second in the series. Beermanmikes comment just freaked me out since that is the exact birthdate of someone very close to me. I know now that its just a coincidence (but a damn creepy one.)

Uhm, this reminds me of those preserved fetuses in Bodyworks or something.

Call me crazy, but I'd put good money down that this is the next must have item. See ya, iPhone!

@church of many: Well, what they are not saying is that the fetus uses a damned proprietary umbilical cord, so you can forget compatibility with your other USB devices.

I like steampunk. I like robot babies. But I think this--from its purposeless industrial design (yes, even fantasy items can be designed with a certain logical flair to look like they really do something) to its obvious desklamp-base origins-- is just a little too poorly executed to be of interest. Fail. (Although, the little robot baby might be intriguing, hard to tell, just lose all the extra garbage.)

@bosskev: OMG! Now that I've clicked through the links to its original source(s), I find that this is not just the handiwork of some garage hobbyist, but is the so-called "art" of a so-called "artist", Molly "Porkshanks" Friedrich. Here's the kicker:

She wants $8,500.00 for this barely-worthy-of-a-crafts-fair oddity! Good grief.
