Completely Random News
Sometimes I just have to flag things that tickle me that have nothing to do with our show.
The co-founder of Google is offering a $20 million payoff to someone who gets a reconnaissance droid to the moon.
So pull out your duct tape and Erector Set and get cracking.
Also on the science tip, the BBC is reporting that computer-generated voices will become so good that soon there will be mass impersonations and "vocal terrorism". Just when you'd stopped giving out your personal information to those scam phishing e-mails pretending to be eBay customer service...
In other news of the random:
California is banning teens from using cellphones while driving. This wouldn't fit my definition of "news of the random" except that LA, a city with highways that stick out like the veins on a powerlifter's legs, has no "hands free" policy on cellphones. So that would explain the people I see steering with their knees while they text.
