Nerds at UC-Berkely build robot that solves rubix cubes in under ten seconds.

Big deal. My Uncle Larry could solve a rubix cube with ten bucks and a pen knife.

I’m not trying to be a negative Nancy or anything but shouldn’t our finest scientific minds focus on something a bit more relevant than solving the greatest mysteries of 1982?

Alternate fuel, nuclear waste disposal, Mars…all just sitting there ripe for the pickin’.

Besides that, I want my robot maid already. Generations of children grew up idolizing two scientific breakthroughs: the jet pack and Rosie from the Jetsons. Neither of which are commercially available.

At least we’re getting somewhere with the jet pack.

This is how far we’ve come to Rosie. Pathetic. It doesn’t have arms or legs and it certainly doesn’t sarcastically quip.

Yesterday I said I was going to do a running blog of Countdown’s favorite holiday: Thanksgiving.

I lied. Where I’m going we won’t NEED internet. Meaning I won’t have any. Many thoughts after the break though. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone. Eat lots, give some to those less fortunate.

Thank God, Mom, or whoever you believes in you.
