Robot marries couple in Japan

Posted in Robots by Conner Flynn on May 17th, 2010


Here’s a heartwarming story of two robot geeks that fell in love and were then married by a robot. Tomohiro Shibato and Satoko Inoue were married in a ceremony conducted by none other than the 4-foot tall i-Fairy robot.

We aren’t sure if that is actually legal in Japan. And if it isn’t, this guy has a legal way out at some point. At the very least I hope this same robot will handle the divorce. We hear that some Roomba’s walked her down the aisle and Asimo caught the bouquet, while Bender smoked a cigar in back and proclaimed, “I’d hit that”.

Fart-absorbing blanket may save your marriage

The “Better Marriage Blanket” doesn’t save your marriage through communication or seeing a therapist. It does something much more important. It absorbs farts. And that will definitely save any marriage.

It uses “the same type of fabric used by the military to protect against chemical weapons,” so there’s nothing you can fart that will get through this thing. It will soak up any and all stenches being produced underneath. But seriously if your farts are so bad that you need this blanket, you should sleep outdoors and see a doctor immediately.

Super Mario wedding cake is a work of art

Super Mario wedding cake is a work of art
This has to be the awesomest geek cake ever. It was Flickr’ user M.A.L.’s wedding cake, and it seems to have everything in the Mario world represented nicely. It’s got Toad, Yoshi, Piranha plants, mushrooms, even the Chain Chomp guy. The castle on a planet was inspired from Super Mario Galaxy. The cake was created by Beth from Let Them Eat Cake in Costa Mesa, California.

Why don’t people ever divorce with such style? They should. You’re getting the hell away from each other after all which is cause to celebrate. Marry with a Mario cake and divorce with a Zelda cake, that’s what I say. Or a Tetris cake, that can be thrown at each other.
