Did you hear the one about the egg-shaped Russian robocop? As far as we know, this is a true story.
A Russian six-foot tall egg-shaped robot, hailed by the Russian police force as a bold new crime fighting tool broke down on it’s first day on the job, not because it couldn’t fail to comprehend the human notion of love, but because the rain made its circuits fry.
I think it actually would be adorable to be arrested by a short little egg shaped robotic police officer. Robots are SO gay. Think about it.
Twiki from Buck Rogers? Gay. HAL-9000? Persnickety. Star Wars’ C3PO? Flaming! Even real-life robot ASIMO swishes around like a flaming queen. I think I’ve even seen the Mars Sojourner Red Rover and the Unimate robotic arm getting it on.
Do you have $40 sitting around doing nothing? Well besides investing in your favorite podcast, you can invest it in real estate. Just don’t plan on being around to enjoy it. On today’s show Amanda Steinstein joins Marc Felion and me Fausto Fernós to talk about investment real estate but the really wacky kind.
One firm Lo’ihi Development will sell you a lot of Hawaiian real estate for $40, the catch is that you wont be able to step foot on it for probably three or four millennia, since it’s located 3,000 feet below sea level on a underwater volcano.
Another developer named Dennis Hope has made over NINE MILLION DOLLARS selling acres of land on the moon (as in the one that orbits the earth) for $20. How cute! A piece of paper for $20. He’s sold his lunar land plots to celebrities like Barbara Walters, George Lucas, the deceased Ronald Reagan and even the first President Bush. I don’t know why people think most celebrities mismanage their money.

This is the episode in which *I* appear, which makes it the best FOF ever, obvs.
It’s wierd to hear Amanda advertise of Steamworks… I’m sure she’s done it before and I love her voice. She sounds fabulous… BUT… it’s just wierd to me. Hey Amanda, they have those mailboxes here in Indy, too. I think you should have the Amanda electronic fettish podcast, too!
So do robotic police officers use violet wands to protect us? Can we rent them?
Okay, I’ve just listened to the podcast again.. is this possibly a podcast that was recorded say, back in June? I only started listening three months ago so I may have missed it… Have you guys sindicated yourselves???
