Mail, scientists have discovered that intermittent fasting could boost bedroom performance, especially for older men. So intermittent fasting could boost bedroom performance. Now, coincidentally, I haven't had anything to eat in about 18 hours, so if I suddenly need to take a break, you'll know why. Because of science. According to Reichman Unive

rsity, it's funny that they even tested this. A robot dog can inspire emergent leadership in humans, meaning that if you have a robot dog and you tell the robot dog to act like one of the humans as the leader, the other humans will just go along with it. So you can literally have a robot dog choose the human leader in a group, and everybody else will be like, well, seems reasonable to me. If the robot dog's okay with it, I'm okay with it.

But I think the larger risk is robot persuasion. Do you know how influential a robot's going to be if a robot dog can determine which human is in charge? And apparently they've tested it in a lab. What else can the robot dog do? I mean, next thing I know I'm going to be peeing on fire hydrants if the robot dog tells me to.

Speaking of robots, there's now a tiny little robot that they can put in your body, according to the University of Leeds. It's a tiny magnetic robot, and it can take 3D scans of things like tumors and stuff like that. So the one they have now is for colorectal cancer. So I'm going to say it was only a matter of time before somebody shoved a robot up your ass. It's here. The robot that goes up your ass. I'm sure it does good work up there, but I just knew it would come to this.

Well, the US Army, according to Next Gen Defense, has a high-speed 3D-printed kamikaze drone. So now you can use 3D printing to make a drone, but they don't say which parts. I can't imagine you can print the metallic parts. I mean, you can print metal, but I don't really think you can print the entire drone. Doesn't seem like it. But if yo

u can do most of it, that would be pretty impressive. So it's all drones. You can have your 3D-printed drone, which is great for terrorists. So if any of you are terrorists, a 3D-printed drone is coming. And there's also going to be all these drone killers now. They've got all these anti-drone systems with missiles and stuff, so you can have drones fighting drones before they even get to us. Wel…
