Normally, if part of your skin is badly damaged in an accident, you’ll need skin grafts from other parts of your body to replace the damaged skin layers. Now a group of researchers at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine says that new skin can actually be printed, using technology that’s very similar to a regular ink jet printer.

Note: Video after the jump. Krang , for those of you don’t know (and clearly had the worst childhoods ever), is a character from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that’s above Shredder. I know, I always suspected Shredder was a bottom too. So sassy and such a sharp dresser. Get it? The man wore metal spikes. Although, technically, Krang isn’t above Shredder, he just formed an alliance with him while here on earth because he was convinced Shredder could help him take over the planet. Pfft, Shredder can’t do anything but open cans and hate turtles ! Also, Krang is just the little brain-looking alien, the body is his mechanical mongoloid suit. Per Youtube user mormolyke: I made my husband a Krang outfit for Halloween. Wow, now that’s a good woman. Not only does she know who Krang is, she can make stuff. No word on her sandwich crafting skills, but hopefully we’ll find out when she replies to the love letter I sent. Dear lady, Sweet-ass Krang costume on the realz. What do you say you and I get together? How are you at making sandwiches? I like all kinds. Also, sometime can I dress up like a member of the Foot Clan and swing from the ceiling fan like a ninja while–. Girlfriend : Um, what are you writing? Me : Gah! Grocery list, I swear. Let’s see, toilet paper — mustard — cheese sticks. Girlfriend : *snatching note* Let me see that. Me : No! Girlfriend : Is this — a love letter? Me : I cannot tell a lie, no it is 100% not. Girlfriend : *twisting balls like she’s trying to open a pickle jar* Me : Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Hit the jump for a short video of Krang in action.

How small can a house be and still really be a living space? Closet-sized apartments in New York City and capsule hotels in Japan already seem to test those limits, but designer Michael Janzen is scaling it back even more with his Nine Tiny Feet Cabin.

Woops. Big enough to be read version HERE . This is a map of the United States according to movies that took place in the various states. As you can see, ‘What about Bob?’ took place in, uh, what is that, North Hampshire? Okay so I failed geography , big deal. Also, my most recent drug test, which means I have to report back to the clink on Monday. Ha, Monday. Like I’m not gonna wake up there tomorrow! Love the smell of a holding-cell in the morning. Getting teabagged, not so much. The United States Of Movies [buzzfeed]

This is how awful B-movie sci-fi plots become reality, people. A study at Arizona State University is trying to determine why some insects have gotten larger and smaller over time, and they’ve already manage to create larger dragonflies.

Northrup Grumman, a company best known for having two last names for a name, unveiled this machine gun wielding robot at the recent Association of the U.S. Army’s Washington conference, solidifying in my mind that moving far, far away from DC was the right choice for me. The robot, typically an unarmed supply-carrying bot, was weaponized especially for the event. Quite frankly,” explains Anderson, a Northrop advanced-systems employee with short white hair and a whiter smile, “a weapon on a robot brings people into the booth.” With a grin, Anderson calls it a “new application,” comparing his modification to the first time someone thought to arm a drone with a Hellfire missile. “We’re gonna come around the side here,” he says, “and scare people half to death.” All Anderson is doing, he says, is nudging the Army, suggesting that maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad thing to have a rolling armed robot, and rattles off all the guns it can support: the M240, the M249, the MK19 grenade launcher, a 25mm or 30mm cannon. What could go wrong? Listen, I’ve had way too much to drink this morning to even go into weaponized robot tanks without getting violently ill, but — oh God — *BLAAAAAAAAAH!!* Ouch, that one stung. *wiping mouth with toilet paper, admiring myself in the mirror* Now, where was I? Working on my laptop at the kitchen table? Right. Hey — somebody puked in here! Northrop Arms Its Robot Pack Mule With Big Gun [wired] Thanks to all the folks that sent me this, I broke my other laptop last night in a fit of (drunken) rage when it wouldn’t cook my Hot Pocket evenly and won’t have access to my email until tomorrow.
