If a dog craps anywhere in the universe, NASA won't be the last to know.

How long could you live in a wave pool?

Six Flags over Georgia is challenging 4 people to live on a life raft in their wave pool for as long as it takes -- last person standing takes home $10,000.

Do you want poop in your wave pool? Because that's how you get poop in your wave pool.

Come on now, a wave pool isn't really a wave pool without poop in it. I can't remember a single time of the many that I visited Raging Waters or Hurricane harbor in my youth, that there wasn't a floater in the wave pool and everyone got kicked out so they could fish it out.

Where's the toilet?

I love how many people are complaining that his is a waste of money. I have plenty of friends who got apartments in college, single dorms, or live solo now who can barely afford to do so when they could be much more within their means if they had a roommate. The cost of those, especially over like two or three years, can easily out do that eight grand.

I can easily see where these things would be valuable to tons of people and well worth the money. Unfortunately I can also see that the waste heat from a high end gaming PC + monitors etc, combined with normal body heat radiation would result in this thing being a sauna within minutes of being closed. Their schematics show vents, but there's no way anything less than an active cooling system would keep the unit habitable.

Also, I could easily build it for way less than $8k

I think you owe to to Adam Smith to get started then!

Doomguy is initially stationed on Mars, but dispatched the Mars' moon Phobos (and then gets sucked to other places).

Chinese hospital has "automatic sperm extractor."

I'm sure that once this goes retail, many of you will be in your bunks.

*refuses to speculate on which countries this item will sell best in*

That thing would have to be pretty damn good indeed to get me to forget about all the other men it's extracted.

I mean, I understand that that's a little machinist of me. I mean, I don't have a problem with men that have sex with a lot of machines, but I can't help but feel that there is a real difference. I mean, I have a biological, self cleaning system that has been polished by 4 billion years of evolution. But it? If someone else cleans it, have they missed a spot? Did it clean itself right? How long did it take? Was it's soap dispenser refilled?

...Ok, I'm going there. Based on 5 years of a sexually active relationship, a new relationship with a sexual component and a smattering of experience prior to the relationship that led to my marriage... NONE of those have been self cleaning.
