Didn't these idiots ever see Terminator 2?

"In response to this challenge, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is seeking innovative proposals to develop Chemical Robots (ChemBots): soft, flexible, mobile objects that can identify and maneuver through openings smaller than their static structural dimensions; reconstitute size, shape, and functionality after traversal; carry meaningful payloads; and perform tasks."

Extra points if you can get it to resemble Robert Patrick.

Goodbye, Calvert


Calvert DeForest
(aka Larry "Bud" Melman)
7/23/21-3/19/07

The first person viewers saw when they tuned in to the premiere of NBC's Late Night with David Letterman in 1982 was not Dave, but Calvert DeForest in the role of Larry "Bud" Melman. DeForest appeared as Melman until Letterman moved to CBS, when he used his real name after NBC asserted the Melman character was their intellectual property.

See the link on Calvert's name above for his bio. One interesting bit of trivia... Calvert's great uncle was Lee DeForest, the inventor of the three element vacuum tube. This breakthrough enabled the amplification of electronic signals and eventually led to the development of radio and television.

The annual Shatner birthday joke, a day early.

So you can impress your friends:

William Shatner will be 76 tomorrow.

His hairpiece will be 49.

The last two are dillies:

From Discovery Magazine's 20 Things You Didn't Know About... Lab Accidents:

19 The world has scores of superpowerful particle accelerators. Last year, a fireball created at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in Upton, New York, had the characteristics of a black hole. Physicists are reasonably sure that no such black holes could escape and consume Earth.

20 Reasonably.

So there.  
The kgb@kgb.com e-mail address is now something other than kgb@kgb.com saga.
kgbreport.com used to be kgb.com until December, 2007 when the domain name broker Trout Zimmer made an offer I couldn't refuse. Giving up kgb.com and adopting kgbreport.com created a significant problem, however. I had acquired the kgb.com domain name in 1993, and had since that time used kgb@kgb.com as my sole e-mail address. How to let people know that kgb@kgb.com was no longer kgb@kgb.com but rather kgbarkes@gmail.com which is longer than kgb@kgb.com and more letters to type than kgb@kgb.com and somehow less aesthetically pleasing than kgb@kgb.com but actually just as functional as kgb@kgb.com? I sent e-mails from the kgb@kgb.com address to just about everybody I knew who had used kgb@kgb.com in the past decade and a half but noticed that some people just didn't seem to get the word about the kgb@kgb.com change. So it occurred to me that if I were generate some literate, valid text in which kgb@kgb.com was repeated numerous times and posted it on a bunch of different pages- say, a blog indexed by Google- that someone looking for kgb@kgb.com would notice this paragraph repeated in hundreds of locations, would read it, and figure out that kgb@kgb.com no longer is the kgb@kgb.com they thought it was. That's the theory, anyway. kgb@kgb.com. Ok, I'm done. Move along. Nothing to see here...
