Rodent Robots! - what ever will they think of next?
I got rather excited when I saw this headling on the BBC News website: Rat-brained robot aids memory study. I had visions of a rat-like robot's squeaks being converted into English so that some boffin could ask it lots of questions to see how smart rats actually are. Sadly, the robot in question doesn't look anything like a rat.

Robot! Zombie! Pirate! Ninja! T-shirts (from threadless)
Here's a quick list of some great robot, zombie, pirate & ninjas t-shirts available on the ever-awesome Threadless:
"This Shirt Hides My Cold Robot Interior"
"Corporate Zombie" by Nik Holmes
"Pirate Infested Waters" by Benjamin Weisman
"Squirrels Are Nature's Ninjas" by Tom Brazelton
My favourite Robot t-shirt on Threadless
"This Shirt Hides My Cold Robot Interior"
Not particularly exciting, but the robot t-shirts are a bit lacking on threadless... there are other great robot t-shirts out there, but I don't have an affiliates account for those ;p
My favourite Zombie t-shirt on Threadless
"Corporate Zombie" by Nik Holmes
This is definitely one of my favourite t-shirts on Threadless (in fact, I'm actually wearing this one today).
My favourite Pirate t-shirt on Threadless
"Pirate Infested Waters" by Benjamin Weisman
Pirate fashion is a bit done to death to be honest, but this tee is actually quite subtle.
My favourite Ninja t-shirt on Threadless
"Squirrels Are Nature's Ninjas" by Tom Brazelton
Actually, ninja t-shirts on Threadless seem to be prety thin on the ground.. I seem to remember there being a lot more (perhaps they are stealthily hiding?). Anyway, this t-shirt is awesome because it also features a squirrel, and if there's one thing almost as awesome as a Robot-zombie-pirate-ninja, it's a squirrel-ninja.
Robot! Zombie! Pirate! Ninja! GO!!
Welcome to the first post on Robot! Zombie! Pirate! Ninja!. Now, I know what you're probably thinking:
"What is Robot! Zombie! Pirate! Ninja!? How did I end up on this crappy blog!?"Well, to put it simply, I dont' really know what the Robot! Zombie! Pirate! Ninja! blog is for yet. But somethings I can tell you are:
- Robot! Zombie! Pirate! Ninja! are a 4-piece band from Dundee, Scotland started up by 3 former members of Dundonian-nu-skiffle-smut funk pioneers, BiSluts in Heat.. although we haven't officially settled R!Z!P!N! as the name for the new band yet.
- Robot! Zombie! Pirate! Ninja! is a kids TV show that has been "in pre-production" (i.e. a stupid idea that floats around my head and occasionally falls from my mouth, but goes no further) for a few years. Its all about a futuristic superhero who combines the powers of the robot, the zombie, the pirate and (you guessed it) the ninja in order to defend the citizens of Discovery City from continual attempts of alien invasion. Nice.
- This blog will likely have interesting updates on robots, zombies, pirates and ninjas from time to time.
