Every fifth living thing is a beetle

David Brzoska IS the Tiger Beetle Man.

And yes, I much appreciate news stories about amateur entomologists. But Mr. Brzoska is more than that, having spent so much of his life in the study of these animals.

Bad News For Future Guys Like Me

How can we compete with hot robot sex?

An artificial intelligence expert claims we will be having sex with robots by 2050.

David Levy says by then robots will be nearly indistinguishable from real people.

In his book, Sex With Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot relationships, he writes: ‘Great sex on tap for everyone, 24/7. What’s not to like?’

According to Levy, the people who are most likely to benefit from these sexbots are those so ugly or isolated that they have trouble finding human romance.

He said: "They’re lonely, they’re miserable. I think society will be a much better place when they have an alternative that satisfies them without doing any harm to other people."

Still, isn't the human romance, or the sexual tension, a major part of the whole experience?
