Giant fire spitting robot terrorises Roppongi

More awesomeness from our friends in Japan, who clearly know how to party.

Sculptor Kenji Yanobe’s Giant Torayan robot, a 7.2-meter (24-ft) tall mechanical baby that sings, dances and spits fire, was sighted in Tokyo’s Roppongi district last night. The fire-breathing robot spent the night on center stage at “Roppongi Art Night,” an all-night event featuring installations and performances by dozens of artists at various venues in Roppongi.

Those wacky Japanese

You've probably seen those claw machines at an arcade or shopping centre. Put in some money, try and steer the robot claw to pickup a cuddly toy.

Dull.

The Japanese have upped the ante in claw based entertainment. Mobile phones, pornographic DVDs - and now, boobs.

No, those are not onions or swedes.

Friday fun - what do you like to do?

Kill it with hammers!

This is pretty horrific, and will be haunting my dreams for many nights to come.

Aquarists at the Blue Reef Aquarium in Newquay have discovered the identity of a mysterious killer that had been devastating their coral reef display over recent months.

Staff at the award-winning attraction had been puzzled by violent attacks on their fragile living reefs - in some cases the corals had been literally cut in half.

After staking out the display for several weeks, aquarists decided as a last resort to take it apart rock by rock.

Halfway through the process the terrifying perpetrator was finally revealed - a monstrous four-foot-long giant reef worm.
