From the same people who brought you invisibility cloaks, say hello to flying cars and other floating oddities.

And if that doesn't tickle your geek bone (which, by the way, is connected to your ninja bone), check out the next generation of flying saucers. 

An Indian company is on their way to mass production of 3-D handheld devices by 2010.   Help me Obi-Wan, you're my only hope!

Recent archeological excavations have uncovered evidence of 27 additions to Asimov's 3 rules of robotics.  What dystopian future could survive without number 18 - A robot must be very careful when tickling a human being, because a robot does not know what it is like to be tickled, and therefore cannot safely apprehend when it is no longer funny and it starts to become cruel and number 24 - A robot must plant two trees for every cat it kills.

And finally, watch out Charlton Heston, the roomba tolls for thee!

IllDoctrine - tell it like it is!

We're Racists for McCain and we APPROVE this message!

In related news, investigative reporters from Fafblog! have uncovered some pretty damning facts about Obama. Seriously, this could be the October surprise that the Palin/Old Man ticket have been waiting for. For example:

FACT! Barack Obama has been friends with Rashid Khalidi, an openly Arab Arab who is so Arab he writes about other Arabs. Is Barack Obama part of the international Arab conspiracy to trick white people into thinking about Arabs? Answer: also maybe.

FACT! Barack Obama talks about his white mother and his white grandparents and the white half of his family that is white, but did you know that half of his family is also black? In fact, half his family is so black that Obama keeps them hidden away on a whole other continent where they speak in a strange, otherworldly code which is not even English. What is Obama trying to hide? Possibly something black. BONUS FACT! Barack Obama may be half-white and half-black, but he married a woman who is completely black. In a way, doesn't that make him three-quarters black? Math doesn't lie, people!

Er, no … I mean the other kind.  Actually, a few interesting stories have popped up over the last few weeks.

Those wacky Europeans are proposing a massive solar array in the Sahara which, if operating at merely 0.3% capacity would generate enough power to provide for Europe's energy needs.  All of 'em.

Not to be outdone, folks on the Left Coast are building a geothermal generator (in Utah, of course … NIMBY!!) which is hoped to supply up to 20% of California's energy demand. 

And last, but certainly coolest - can the macrobiotic diet come to NYC?  It might if Dr. Dickson Despommier, a professor of public health at Columbia University, has his say.  He's campaigning for the production of vertical food farms - massive skyscrapers capable of providing for wide-scale farming with a tiny geographical footprint. 

Despommier estimates that it would cost $20 million to $30 million to make a prototype of a vertical farm, but hundreds of millions to build one of the 30-story towers that he suggests could feed 50,000 people. "I'm viewed as kind of an outlier because it's kind of a crazy idea," Despommier, 68, said with a chuckle. "You'd think these are mythological creatures."

Well, McInSane was certainly out in full force last night vying for the grouchy, bigot vote!

To be fair, when you reach his age, well, let's just say he probably didn't see him there.
