Italians Will Put A Spider in Your…


So the Italians have come up with an ingenious design. A Spider robot that crawls around your butt. What? Your probably asking yourself whether they should be allowed to have any sort of modern technology if this is how theyre going to waste it. Hold on though, this is a good thing. The Spider isnt actually a Spider, its a tiny robot that the patient
swallows, that can be remote controlled by the doctors one it its the lower intestines. The robot does have a camera, so the doctors dont have to guess when it gets there.

This little robot, does have legs that enable it to move back and forth which gives it the advantage of not being endoscopes for colonoscopy procedures , which some people refuse treatment because they find that to be a bit invasive. This way the spider can do the work from inside, and the patient can relax.

The spider pill has not been tested on humans yet, however the trials on pigs are going well. There is no release date on this, probably in about a year the scientists say, but Im sure if you see a line of old men out side of a doctors clinic, theyve either got the spider pill, or the doctor hired topless dancers, to work inside the clinic as topless dancers.

Also before I let you go, your probably wondering what happens after there done with the looking and crawling, and the what not. Well the spider pill makes the grandest of exits, naturally of course.

Touching the Military…

The hottest new battlefield weapon in Baghdad is also a hot item on the home front.

iPod Touch is proving to be a valuable tool to members of the U.S. military, according to a report in Newsweek.

The report notes that the iPod performs many functions in this time of “networked warfare,” enabling soldiers to be linked with other soldiers, as well as intelligence resources, such as aerial images from drones and translation software.

Soldiers can use applications to add translated phrases to maps and photos, as well as show villagers video messages from local leaders. A new program called Vcommunicator translates spoken and written Arabic, Kurdish, as well as two Afghan languages.

Another application developed for the iPhone allows soldiers to take a photo of a street sign, upload it, and immediately receive intelligence on the local area, such as water and sympathizers. Because new recruits are already familiar with how the iPod and iPhone work, it’s also easier to train soldiers on loading content, the report notes.

Oh yeah, this rugged device, which retails for less than $230, was developed in the private sector without taxpayer money. Considering the military’s history of being charged for $435 hammers, $640 toilet seats, and $7,600 coffeemakers by contractors, this is a great deal.
