NYU Virtual Girlfriend

28 year old NYU student, Drew Burrows, has created an interesting piece of art which can be seen as "creepy" or perhaps "sad" by most. He has created a "virtual girlfriend" that is projected onto the bed next to him. The program that runs the projection responds to various movements that it picks up from infrared sensors in order to allow the projected "girlfriend" to respond accordingly. While the item is mainly a piece of art meant to showcase his technical abilities, Burrows admits that it is "So nice if you're tired and worn out to have someone to curl up with."

Hippo Family Pet

The Joubert Family family from South Africa apparently wants to die. They have a female hippo living in their house with them as a pet. The animal has free reign to walk around the house and even eats at the table with the family. If that's not enough the pet even drinks tea! The family found the hippopotamus abandoned as a baby and apparently decided to raise it. I sure hope this thing doesn't get mad one day when it enters puberty. That thing could take your head off with a nibble.Link (via Gizmodo)

Not quite sure what the purpose of this shirt is but it doesn't change the fact that it is totally awesome. Just imagine all the possibilities.
