Advances in Robot-Mustache technology

David Hanson discusses the important advances in mustachioed robotics. According to a few articles I've read, the microcellulotic rubber compounds he discusses might lead us to a cure for the Singularity by the year 2013!

Hypothochallenge

For those of you who caught last week's episode on the Science of Candy, you have probably been hard at work formulating answers for the hypothochallenge already. For those of you who missed it because you aren't dedicated listeners, here it is in text form:

In six words or less describe the interchangeable process of microcellulotic biomimesis and its impact on the falafel binary.

Wildlife specimen

Pretzel Finch (Crispius sodiumitus)

This elusive finch evolved around Pennsylvania pretzel factories over millions of years, to elude predators by hiding amongst savory snack foods.

"The salty odour of this creature," wrote Charles Darwin in his seminal evolutionary text, On the Origin of Pretzels, "gives one the impression that its flesh should be smoked, not fried, and served with autumn squash."

Hypothochallenge

In case you didn't have a chance to write it down last week, here is the HYPOTHOCHALLENGE question we will be answering tonight. Any comments will be read on the air and correct answers will be eligible for this week's grand prize.

Q: If two nanoparticles traveling six soundyears per second encountered a bioteliological fission stream in deep space nine, would the particles

a) implode into megadense neutron capacitors, harvestable for sustainable energy?

or

b) deplode into the neuroexistential multiverse to a soundtrack of Elliott Smith?

Tune in TONIGHT to find out this answer AND MORE. Our topic of discussion tonight: The Science of CANDY.
