In other hover -news, this is the $100 Levitron Revolution. It can levitate any object that fits on its hoverdisk and weighs less than 12-ounces. How? Magic magnets WIZAAAAAARDZ! According to the manufacturers, “The Levitron automatically compensates for changes in weight by making up to 1,000 corrections per second to the electromagnets contained within the base.” Are you thinking what I’m thinking? “Buy 80 and build a hoverboard for your little brother?!” Wow, it really is like you and I share one big, retarded brain. To my basement workshop! “This…is your bedroom.” I’m getting under the covers! Hit the jump for a video demo.

Hover Anything That Weighs Less Than 12-Ounces!

The US government , best known for doing everything in its power keep the general populace in the dark about anything of interest, has issued a statement claiming no knowledge of aliens or any coverups related to extraterrestrial life. Oh, real cool gubment — LYING STRAIGHT TO MY SAGGY MAN-TITS. These petitions were sparked by an Obama administration initiative called “We the People.” Initially, the White House said staffers would respond and consider taking action on any issue that received at least 5,000 online signatures within 30 days. The requirement has since been raised to 25,000 signatures. “The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race,” Phil Larson from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy reported on the WhiteHouse.gov website.”In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public’s eye.” The Paradigm Research Group, one of the organizations promoting the petitions, said that the response by a “low-level staffer” was unacceptable and that it would begin a new petition campaign. Ahahahhahaha @ “low-level staffer”. Phil Larson is a real person with real feelings you know. There’s no question he’s read this, and what did you do? YOU HURT HIM. Would you have been happier if they reanimated Roosevelt and Eisenhower’s bodies and had him write the report? Because the government can do that too. White House: There’s no sign of E.T. or UFO cover-up [msnbc] Thanks to rob, Brianna and Preacher62, who agree there’s definitely something the government isn’t telling us: everything.

I’ll believe it when it cuts through a glass giant. Astronomers are claiming they’ve found a planet made entirely of diamond . Interesting, but if you really wanted to capture the public’s attention you should have said it was made out of chili cheese fries and has a milkshake orbiting it. The new planet is far denser than any other known so far and consists largely of carbon. Because it is so dense, scientists calculate the carbon must be crystalline, so a large part of this strange world will effectively be diamond. “The evolutionary history and amazing density of the planet all suggest it is comprised of carbon — i.e. a massive diamond orbiting a neutron star every two hours in an orbit so tight it would fit inside our own Sun,” said Matthew Bailes of Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne. Lying 4,000 light years away, or around an eighth of the way toward the center of the Milky Way from the Earth, the planet is probably the remnant of a once-massive star that has lost its outer layers to the so-called pulsar star it orbits. I hereby publicly claim Diamondtopia as my own. Now, has anybody here played enough Minecraft/Starcraft to feel comfortable setting up a mining operation on the planet? Awesome. Also, we’re gonna need some serious firepower in case there’s any of those f***ing Na’vi. Astronomers discover planet made of diamond [reuters] Thanks to CB and Evil Ares, who would’ve settled for smoky quartz planets. And to Mr. Fancy, who wouldn’t accept anything less than ruby or emerald.

According to a recent study, Facebook is visited more often than pr0n sites in the UK, indicating either 1. people are actually getting sexed in real life (unlikely) or 2. masturbate using only their imaginations. Haha, who hasn’t convinced themselves a cloud looks like a naked lady, amirite? The internet research company says that in January sites like Facebook accounted for 12.46% of all online traffic. That’s the equivalent of 2.4 billion hits or one eighth of all web visits. In comparison entertainment websites, including pornographic ones, accounted for 12.18% of traffic. It’s the first time social networking has overtaken entertainment in terms of popularity. Of those, social network site Facebook accounted for more than half, or 56%, of visits. Whoa whoa whoa — but Geekologie is an entertainment website! You can’t just go lumping it into a category filled with smut. “Why, because it’s worse than smut?” What the — I am insulted! “Really?” No, not at all. But sometimes I do like to pretend I’m a classy lady. *drinking with pinkie-finger raised* Oh butler — be a doll and fetch my pearls and Summer’s Eve vajay-spray, will you? Facebook more popular than porn for UK users [bbcnews] and Geekologie on Facebook (why not?) Thanks to TK 745, who’s convinced he saw a steamy lesbian scene in a bonfire once. Damn! What kind of firewood did you use?

Man, scientists be all kinds of pissin’ me off lately. I may have to start siding with the Juggalos on this one. Thing is, I really don’t know how magnets work. I always thought there were tiny wizards in there. Anyway, a group of Slovenian “scientists” are ignorning Asimov’s first rule of robotics and having a robot punch the shit out of humans. Possibly literally! (I know I would) There [Slovenia], a powerful robot has been hitting people over and over again in a bid to induce anything from mild to unbearable pain …. But the robo-battering is all in a good cause, insists Borut Pove, who has ethical approval for the work from the University of Ljubljana, where he conducted the research. He has persuaded six male colleagues to let a powerful industrial robot repeatedly strike them on the arm, to assess human-robot pain thresholds. It’s not because he thinks the first law of robotics is too constraining to be of any practical use, but rather to help future robots adhere to the rule. “Even robots designed to Asimov’s laws can collide with people. We are trying to make sure that when they do, the collision is not too powerful,” Pove says. “We are taking the first steps to defining the limits of the speed and acceleration of robots, and the ideal size and shape of the tools they use, so they can safely interact with humans.” Really? The University of Lubjubjama? Because based on the name alone I’m not sure they have the authority to be passing out ethical approvals. OR diplomas. Flyers for a furniture liquidations sale maybe . Robot arm punches human to obey Asimov’s rules [newscientist] and Robots learning our pain threshold by punching humans and seeing if they cry [engadget] Thanks to Jon, Dj Azer, EroticHamster, Kevin, Juan, Oli4, Kara and Schmitty, who would knock a robot’s block off before ever getting punched by one.

You’ve Got To Be Kidding Me!: Scientists Experiment With A Human-Punching Robot

BP recently admitted to Photoshopping a picture of their Houston-based oil spill command center to make it seem like the workers there don’t just play Minesweeper and make dead sea turtle jokes all day. Little did they know. You can’t fool the American public. ROFLOL! BP acknowledges it posted on its website an altered photo that exaggerates the activity at its Gulf oil spill command center in Houston. The picture posted over the weekend showed workers monitoring a bank of 10 giant video screens displaying underwater images. Spokesman Scott Dean says Tuesday that two screens were blank in the original picture and a staff photographer used Photoshop software to add images. He says the photographer was showing off his Photoshop skills and there was no ill intent. Damn, Mr. Photoshop! Copying an image from one monitor and pasting it on another? NOW YOU’RE JUST SHOWBOATING. Has Adobe approached you about teaching classes yet? No? Shocking . Kidding, it’s because you blow. BP’s altered photo distorts spill center activity [comcast] and BP moving into Photoshopping? [jcjanderson] Thanks to Lord Tarl and Jim, who Photoshopped a picture of themselves cutting BP’s peener off with a pair of lobster claws. I’ll admit, it’s erotic in a BSDM sorta way.
