Meteor showers! This week! Everybody watch! And other than that, watch the links. They are shiny too and they come out at night and eat all your strawberry pie and pencils… Er, no, they don’t, actually. But they will only shine the light of their internet goodness on you:

National Geographic Robots Get Intimate With Lions

Other than that they are completely harmless and don’t pose a threat to humanity. I will post some more of these next time.
