An intrepid inventor from Russia named Alexei Burikov is pioneering a new front in weapons development: remote-controlled, camera-toting death turtles.
Alexei is the head of the biology department at Rostov-on-Don State Pedagogical University, and his turtle contraption uses devices fitted onto the turtle’s shell to cause vibrations, which a properly trained turtle will respond to. He suggests several uses for the bionic reptiles, including remote-controlled bombs, spy cameras, planting surveillance devices, and even non-sleuthy uses, such as wildlife monitoring.
Mr. Burikov did not address the practicality of such a slow-moving delivery system, but perhaps this new direction is in response to the rumors of new hare-based bomb-interception technology.

I’m guessing that this is the kind of topic Alan laughs at and has fun playing with Photoshop afterwards…

Yeah, yeah…. I know the image is hokey, but I only had 10 minutes to throw something together. What can I say, I’m a hack.
Hokey is good. This one almost surpasses the Dark Matter picture (entry #100,) but that one remains my favorite.
lol, yea. That Dark Matter picture was classic.
Lazy at its finest.
Now THAT is one deranged dude.
Um…why don’t they just use remote control cars…?
Talk about shell shock…
Actually, what Mr Burikov should do is slather his reptilian army in mutagen, wait till they’re 13-19 years old, then get a similarly mutated rat to teach them Japanese martial arts…
Maybe then we can finally defeat Shredder!
