If you had a chance to be with the perfect romantic partner, you’d probably take it, right? So what if you could build that ideal partner from scratch? Gizmodo posted an interview with Zoltan, who after a serie of bad relationships with real flesh and blood women, created 3 robot girlfriends.

This story sounds like a B movie sci fi flick on space channel. But it seems to be true. The impulse to want to create the perfect partner has been with us since the ancient times. Zoltan seems to like this type of relationship better than with a real flesh and blood human female. It reminds me some book I heard about in a CBC radio show. The title is Love and Sex with Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships .

Here is a snippet from Gizmodo’s post:

“Sniffing around the web a few months ago, I came across Zoltan’s webpage, a science-heavy, how-to site in all things robosexual. As well as basic instructions on how to make a robot girlfriend from components, there are pictures of Zoltan’s three bots, Alice, Kiri and Hal. Hal is just a male ‘bot that Zoltan built to encourage girls who might be interested in a robot boyfriend. Kiri is, in her owner’s words, “basically a sex slave.” And then there’s Alice, aspects of whose life with her creator/husband he has documented, from kissing to conversation—to, of course, sex.”[Gizmodo]

The Guardian reported in 2005 that 1 in 25 fathers are not the real biological father of the child they believe to be theirs.

This product might be the solution to this problem. Identigene DNA Paternity Test Collection Kit can be purchased at Rite Aid drug stores throughout the U.S. The company claim that the DNA kit is easy-to-find near pregnancy tests and other family planning products.

The product is priced at $29.99. You can collect DNA samples from each person involved including the alleged father, child, and mother. Once the DNA collecting is done you just have to send the DNA samples and the $119.00 laboratory testing fee to IDENTIGENE using the postage-paid return envelope. The total cost is around $150.00.

We don’t know at this time if Canadians can access this service without custom problems.

A miniature effect is a special effect that is usually generated by the use of scale models. Their use dates back to the earliest days of cinema. The miniature effect below is different, because an electronic device known as a matting amplifier is used. It produces artful double exposure effects enabling a “reduced” actress.

“Barbra Loden cavorts in miniature on the Ernie Kovacs’ show, astounding and amusing audiences with her feats.

BARBRA Loden is TV’s tiniest performer by virtue of electronic wizardry. In reality she’s a shapely 5 ft., 5 in., 112-pound gal with a mighty fine specification sheet reading 36-23-34. She performs on Ernie Kovacs’ show twice a week, cavorting through a series of weird Lilliputian escapades dreamed up by Kovacs and director Barry Shear.” via [Modern Mechanix]
