Last month at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, he unveiled the result–Roxxxy, the world’s most sophisticated sex robot.

Some of the features:

• soft silicone “skin” that is warmed via tubes that wind through the body
• a rigid skeleton that can be contorted into almost any natural position
• sensors in her hands and genital areas that will trigger vocal responses from her when touched–she even shudders to simulate orgasm
• voice recognition software that analyzes the speakers words and uses pattern-recognition software to match them against a database containing hundreds of appropriate responses
• five preloaded personalities, from Frigid Farrah to Wild Wendy
• a three-hour rechargeable battery

Despite the $7,000 price tag that accompanies the sex robot, Hines claims that he has received more than 4,000 pre-orders and 20,000 requests for more information at his TrueCompanion.com web site.

Personally, I think we’ll take the same approach we do with all of Apple’s technology releases–wait until the second generation is released with a camera, USB hub, and other features that couldn’t quite be worked into the first generation…

Some of the bikes on there really look bad ass, like the Mad Max Aitu Motorbike–although I’m not so sure about that seat.

Some of the bikes also look like they may be a little bit beyond 2010, to me–like the carbon fiber bike, and the Harley Davidson 2020 (the 2020 in the name is the first clue that it’s not going to be a 2010 bike).

Surprisingly, at least one bike that is a “2010 Concept” has actually been around for years–we last wrote about the Dodge Tomahawk motorcycle last year (almost a year to the day, in fact), and remember hearing about it early in the decade.

Not so sure about the Red Bull Motorcycle either–looks less concept-like, more corporate sponsorship-like to me…

I’m going to assume (hope?  pray?) that’s a prank, but I bet you there’s some folks that would like one, if they could figure out how to turn on their Commodore 64 and get their tape deck hooked up to the phone line (without electricuting themselves).

Seems to me that there was an episode of Seinfeld where Kramer used the engine as a grill–which sounds at least somewhat healthier, but I couldn’t find any information on it.  In the meantime, I did find this engine gril, which looks damn decent.

The owner of the pub contacted authorities, and quickly the Coast Guard was on its way (Thompson was about 600 miles off the coast of Bermuda at the time).  Turns out, he’d broken his pelvis–and the Coast Guard needed to get him off the boat to treat him.

As for the boat?  Well, he was sailing by himself, so…if you’re bored, you could head out to the Atlantic and have a look around, see if you can find yourself a free boat.

Anyway, that image led us to this ‘Cycles Extreme‘ page, which led us to som information on a motorcycle we remember writing about a long time ago, the Dodge Tomahawk.

What we don’t remember writing about is that apparently, back in 2005, Dodge actually did produce 10 of the 500 hp Tomahawks with the 8.3L V10 Dodge Viper engine, and sold them at Neiman Marcus for $550,000 apiece. While not street legal, the Tomahawk is estimated to go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, and has a theoretical top speed of over 300 mph.  No word on who actually baought the 10 reproductions (which reportedly were a few “trivial” parts short of actually running).

You can also here some guy starting a Tomahawk at YouTube here, although I don’t know what the hell he’s saying.
