| Snakebot inspires dreams, haunts nightmares Built by robotics students at Carnegie Mellon, Uncle Sam the Snakebot is simultaneously horribly awesome, and awesomely creepy.

| NYT debunks allegations of Pentagon "dirty tricks" behind Wikileaks rape scandal This New York Times article by John Burns (who is no stranger to warzones) suggests that the "CIA Swedish Sex Trap" conspiracy theories around the recent Julian Assange rape allegations may be unfounded.
