I've been getting penis enlargement spams daily for more than ten
years, sometimes more than a dozen a day. I shudder to think of the
amount that gets filtered out by my ISP, and there are hundreds of
millions of internetz users exactly like me. All in all, untold
terabytes of bandwidth have been used for the purposes of telling us how
to make our dicks bigger.

Collectively- worldwide-, is there an extra quarter-inch of cock to be
shown for any of this?

Illinois Railway museum:

Awesome. If you like that sort of thing.

Teh GF and I walked through acres upon acres of salvaged vehicles--
over a
century of public transit, ranging from an enclosed horse-drawn
carriage to some of the most powerfu steam and diesel-electric
locomotives
ever built. Many of these are fully restored, and many more are in
the process of being restored.

For 12 bucks, this was easily one of the coolest local tourist-type
thing I have done in the Midwest. I heartily recommend this product
and/
or service.

The best of our visit to this museum included riding in an old CTA
electric bus, with all the original Seventies posters still lining the
ceiling. That was a blast from my past for me, as my father drove one
of those beasts back when I was a kid.

Monkeys Control a Robot Arm With Their Thoughts
By BENEDICT CAREY
Published: May 29, 2008

Two monkeys with tiny sensors in their brains have learned to control
a prosthetic arm with only their thoughts, using it to reach for and
grab food and even to adjust for the size and stickiness of morsels
when necessary, scientists reported Wednesday.

ROBOT, GET BANANAS!
ROBOT, FLING FECES!

What is the monkey/robot interface and programming language like?

For fuck's sake!

This is so hilarious yet disgusting that I post the entire text.
There are a couple of real gems in here:

WEED, Calif. -- This town is in a tempest over a bottle top.

The federal government is telling the owner of a small brewery here
that the pun he's placed on caps of his Weed Ales crosses a line.

"Try Legal Weed," the caps joke.

The U.S. Treasury Department's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau says those three little words allude to marijuana use.

Vaune Dillmann, owner of Mt. Shasta Brewing Co., says he was just
trying to grab attention for his beers and this tough-luck place in
the morning shadow of Mt. Shasta.

But in the two months since he received a warning, the 61-year-old
brewer has found himself in a David-vs.-Goliath struggle, cast as the
little guy.

Involves sailors, but nevertheless lacks any r-r-r-randy factor:

The prototype was an odd assortment of tanks, pipes, sluices and
valves, with water pumped around the machine by a motor
cannibalised from the windscreen wiper of a Lancaster bomber. Bits
of filed-down Perspex and fishing line were used to channel the
coloured dyes that mimicked the flow of income round the economy
into consumer spending, taxes, investment and exports.
