Just how much can a little crafty paper folding and light trickery do? The answer to this question can be found above. The photo is simply a cleverly folded piece of paper which happens to strikingly resemble an attractive pair of mammaries.
If it’s wrong to be aroused, I don’t want to be right, baby.
Chuck Norris is a man’s man. I’ve got no idea why, considering most of the movies he’s in suck major ass but he’s good with karate and supports the troops. That’s gotta count for something. As homage to one of the greatest living Internet memes in existence and the Scott McCoy, DeviantArt user Billybob884 has been cutting and pasting like crazy to craft this papercraft model of the most bad ass man in the Universe. Well, next to MacGyver, of course.
He’s also released instructions and the pieces required to make your own.
A Japanese surgeon demonstrates the precision of a DaVinci surgical robot with its ability to practice the art of origami. Dr. Norihiko Ishikawa of the Department of Telesurgery has the robot folding a crane no bigger than a penny using nothing but it’s robotic pincer-like hands.
I’d gladly let this robot slice me open to deprive me of a kidney if it’s precise enough to fold paper into a miniature crane. Who knows? Maybe it is capable of doing other Japanese recreational activities such as Bonsai. It may save lives and due neat arts and crafts but is it Johnny-Five?
Montreal native Yee is crazy for origami. Offering DIY kits on his site, you too can create an origami V12 paper engine that pumps just like the real thing (with the help of electrical wires, a resistor, a motor and a battery holder). Damn shame it can’t power a car with pencil shavings. Well, there’s always the next millennia.
