The Japanese have developed a lifelike ‘female’ android. They have been in a race with America on this front ever since Anthony Michael Hall did this 20 years ago. The lifelike android is hot and her name is Sexy O’Sullivan…oh, wait, no it’s Repliee Q1.

I hope this isn’t costing them sales! Amazon.com’s Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper was assembled incorrectly for the product photo. The wings are on backwards (unless this is a special model for shooting chasing Cylons) and the front skid is in the wrong direction, too! Hat tip to Mark Silka
