Scientists at the University of Tokyo have invented a robot that can win a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors at any time- by reading an opponent's move with the use of high-speed cameras and responding in a millisecond's time! David Weekes, a London taxi driver, converted his taxicab into a 1 room hotel for the duration of the 2012 London Olympic Games! Police in Southington, Conn., USA, caught a thief on March 22, 2012, after he accidentally butt dialed the 911 emergency services number during his robbery!

I could beat those Tokyo scientists three different ways: 1. Cover the camera lens with paper. 2. Cut the power cord with scissors. 3. Smash the damn thing with a large rock.
