			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Douglas Hines is a happily married inventor from New Jersey, who spent three years trying to find a market for his artificial intelligence technology.  Failing to find a match, he turned to a different avenue.</p>
<p>Last month at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, he unveiled the result&#8211;Roxxxy, the <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/02/01/sex.robot/index.html?eref=igoogle_cnn" target="_blank">world&#8217;s most sophisticated sex robot</a>.</p>
<p>Some of the features:</p>
<ul>
<li>soft silicone &#8220;skin&#8221; that is warmed via tubes that wind through the body</li>
<li>a rigid skeleton that can be contorted into almost any natural position</li>
<li>sensors in her hands and genital areas that will trigger vocal responses from her when touched&#8211;she even shudders to simulate orgasm</li>
<li>voice recognition software that analyzes the speakers words and uses pattern-recognition software to match them against a database containing hundreds of appropriate responses</li>
<li>five preloaded personalities, from Frigid Farrah to Wild Wendy</li>
<li>a three-hour rechargeable battery</li>
</ul>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.truecompanion.com" target="_blank">TrueCompanion.com</a> web site.</p>
<p>Personally, I think we&#8217;ll take the same approach we do with all of <a href="http://theappleblog.com/2010/01/28/who-will-buy-an-ipad/" target="_blank">Apple&#8217;s technology releases</a>&#8211;wait until the second generation is released with a camera, USB hub, and other features that couldn&#8217;t quite be worked into the first generation&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seattle police were dispatched to a local peep show strip club last Saturday at 2am to arrest a patron.  Not an unruly guest, or someone causing problems with dancers&#8211;but rather someone who was trying to <a href="http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattle911/archives/192357.asp" target="_blank">break into the dancers dressing room</a>.</p>
<p>Because, you know, apparently there he might be able to see them&#8230;oh, wait, that&#8217;s right&#8211;it was a strip club!</p>
<p>The man had entered stall #7 (personally, I&#8217;d never go to a club with stalls), and climbed into the ceiling through panels.  His plan failed when his legs fell through the glass ceiling above one of the dancers (that&#8217;s right, they have glass ceilings).</p>
<p>Damages were severe enough that the club, normally open 24 hours a day, had to temporarily shut down.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More random web surfing recently led us to a post of &#8220;<a href="http://weburbanist.com/2009/12/30/concept-motorcycles-20-bad-ass-bikes-to-hope-for-in-2010/" target="_blank">Concept Motorcycles for 2010</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some of the bikes on there really look bad ass, like the Mad Max Aitu Motorbike&#8211;although I&#8217;m not so sure about that seat.</p>
<p>Some of the bikes also look like they may be a little bit beyond 2010, to me&#8211;like the carbon fiber bike, and the Harley Davidson 2020 (the 2020 in the name is the first clue that it&#8217;s not going to be a 2010 bike).</p>
<p>Surprisingly, at least one bike that is a &#8220;2010 Concept&#8221; has actually been around for years&#8211;we last wrote about the <a href="http://www.manlyweb.com/mw-news/2008/01/07/extreme-motorcycles/" target="_blank">Dodge Tomahawk motorcycle</a> last year (almost a year to the day, in fact), and remember hearing about it early in the decade.</p>
<p>Not so sure about the Red Bull Motorcycle either&#8211;looks less concept-like, more corporate sponsorship-like to me&#8230;</p>

<p>On the other hand, I&#8217;m not sure how the hell something like sex ended up on the &#8220;Bad Thing&#8221; list in the first place&#8230; Next thing you know, they&#8217;ll try to tell me that gambling, fantasy football and whiskey are &#8220;Bad&#8221; too&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Scientists at a German University recently published the results of a study that confirmed that <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1237383/Men-really-ARE-better-parking--thats-woman-professor-talking.html" target="_blank">men really are better at parking</a>&#8211;straight on or parallel, and actually are still quicker at it than women as well.</p>
<p>Particularly interesting was that the co-author of the study was a woman&#8211;Dr. Claudia Wolf&#8211;who took on the study in part because of the he number of chauvinistic comments she encountered about women drivers.</p>
<p>While I normally find studies of this nature to be pointless, the fact that it (probably) didn&#8217;t cost US Taxpayers anything, combined with the fact that it proves something I&#8217;ve long suspected but never been able to convince my wife of means I&#8217;m all in favor of it this time.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re a fan of Ken Jeong&#8217;s performance, you&#8217;ll definitely get a kick out of the extra&#8217;s, as there are numerous improv outtakes from several of his scenes, and several other quasi-interviews with him that are out there.</p>
<p>The highlight of the DVD, of course, is the movie itself, which is the best comedy I&#8217;ve seen in 2009, and possibly the last few years.  I think a lot went into making it that, from not over-hyping the movie coming out, leaving some of the best parts out of the trailer (while still making it funny), and using actors who aren&#8217;t quite yet household names (or weren&#8217;t). This, combined with some early positive reviews via social media, and Warner Brothers ended up with a hit on their hands, which actually exceeded my expectations, rather than failed to live up to them (like so many Will Ferrell movies of late).</p>
<p>Now let&#8217;s just hope they don&#8217;t take the typical Hollywood route, and decide they have to make a sequel&#8230;</p>
