Photo Redux

Going through Yahoo's most emailed photo collection is always fun:


Yahoo's caption: An engineering student soothes Yotaro, a robot which emulates a real baby at Tsukuba University in Japan. Yotaro's face, made of soft translucent silicon with a rosy hue, is backlit by a projector connected to a computer to simulate crying, sneezing, sleeping and smiling, while a speaker can let out bursts of baby giggles.


Bane's: Creepy




Yahoo's caption: A giraffe foal tries to stand shortly after being born at Aalborg zoo in northern Jutland February 11, 2010.


Bane's: Making Bambi feel like a mastodon


Yahoo's caption: Victoria Lacatus, a 25-year-old pregnant woman weighing 528 pounds (240 kilograms), is lifted by firefighters out of an ambulance in Bucharest, Romania on Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2010. Lacatus gave birth to her first baby on Thursday, Feb. 18, 2010, at a hospital equipped to treat obese people


Bane's: Seriously?




Yahoo's caption: A white tiger rests inside an enclosure at Beijing Zoo in Beijing, China, Monday, Feb. 8, 2010. There are fewer than 50 wild tigers left in China today, living in Yunnan, Tibet, Jilin and Helongjiang, according to Xie Yan, the China program director of the Wildlife Conservation Society. The organization is working with the Chinese government to help protect Amur tigers from poachers and develop new habits to their survival


Bane's: Dad




Yahoo's caption: Lolo, a black Jaguar, plays with her newborn spotted cub inside their cage at Jordan's zoo in Yaduda February 16, 2010. The two-month-old cub made his first public appearance on Tuesday after being born to Lolo and Falah, who originate from South America


Bane's: Mom

  2. That "baby" is a definite emulation fail. Either that guy has really small hands, or that kids head is as large as a soccor ball. Haha! Thanks for the laughs :D

  3. I could make a series of very insensitive but hilarious comments regarding one of these photos. I will let you decide which photo, and what I would say.

  4. Fun post! I agree that the first one is really creepy. Cute giraffe, though. :-)

  5. Eurgh. Remind me to never have a robot-baby.

    Also: I love kitties! Awwwww....

  6. I said creepy about the first photo before I even read your words. How did they even find the baby inside that giant woman?

  7. Wait... so does this mean you're half tiger/half jaguar? Epic cool. Me-ow. :)

  8. Only 25? That's like 21 pounds per year!

  9. Adam, did you do the math on that?

    Leave it to the Japanese to come up with something creepy like a robot baby. They so crazy.

  10. "Adam, did you do the math on that?"

    Of course!

  11. There's an awful lot of pictures alluding to parenthood--is there some subliminal message here?

    ...anyway, I know you already did this, but getting it again just means all you have to do is nothing...

  12. You are the ultimate master of the understatement Bane.
