    Pretty scary, especially if the military start to put explosives on this?

    Here's a Google version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

    ...again, Google owns Boston Dynamics, which makes the robots in the video.


    Scary shtuff, looks like the sequel to The Nightmare Before Christmas.

    It's a big fake. There are actually 748,975,424,511 real fleas inside, all having been trained to jump in unison.

    They collected the fleas from the backyard of some vacuum store in Ohio.
