"All the gay websites couldn’t figure out why I was such a jerk that I wouldn’t talk about it."

Said the ice skater Johnny Weir (who people have long assumed is gay, even though he wouldn’t say it): “But pressure is the last thing that would make me want to ‘join’ a community… The massive backlash against me in the gay media and community only made me dig my ‘closeted’ heels in further.” So, what do we learn from this?

Penthouse 3D channel to fill European screens with three-dimensional smut, starting today

Penthouse already promised its US audience a 3D channel in the second quarter of this year , but, for whatever reason, it’s dishing the goods to Europeans even sooner — as in, right now.

Boston Dynamics Cheetah and Atlas robots get DARPA funding, getting ready to find you

Okay, so it may not look quite as impressive as some other mechanical cheetahs we’ve seen in the past, but this new one from Boston Dynamics certainly has a lot of potential. That robot, plus a new humanoid called Atlas, have won DARPA contracts and so will be put into at least limited production, much like the company’s earlier BigDog . Cheetah is said to run “faster than any existing legged robot and faster than the fastest human runners,” while Atlas can “move through difficult terrain using human-like behavior,” meaning neither running nor hiding will work. That leaves only fighting, so get ready to buck up.
