The Shaving Helmet Is as Wacky and Stupid as It Sounds

The Shaving Helmet. Two servos running four razors, automatic shaving cream injection, LED progress indicators. It can shave any head in 24 seconds. Why? Because they can. Or maybe it’s just a prank and the guy just shaved manually when the camera looked away for the explanation. In any case, it’s a silly device. [Thanks…

This 2-year-old Girl Knows the Elements Better Than I Do

This is 26 month-old Rose. She lives in Seattle and loves to play “elements cards.” She can identify more than 50 elements because, you know, she’s cute and smart. My heart is melting like Rubidium in a hot day.
