Strange Inventions

I understand the need to develop new technologies to aid factory workers, but I think they might have taken it a little too far with these robotic legs.



I mean seriously, does that look comfortable to you?

Once upon a time I worked in a warehouse that was trying to implement the wearing of steel-toed shoes. The management was met with widespread resistance from a disgruntled workforce (I don't care how many styles those shoes come in; they still hurt your feet). After that experience, I can't even imagine the internal PR campaign that would need to be launched to try to get workers to "saddle up" as it were. ;)

Asymmetric Quandry

I have to face a sad fact-- my face is not symmetrical. It's true. My face is lopsided. There's no denying the facts. I have the proof. There is a website (http://www.symface.com/) where you upload a picture of yourself and in moments you can see what your face would look like if it were actually symetical.

Thanks to the handy dandy camera that happens to be a part of my computer I gave this a try. Let's start with the orginal picture.

Now let's take a look at what happens when each side is mirrored.

(Left side)

(Right side)

Quite a difference, don't you think?

Don't worry. I'm not so vain or ridiculous to get anxious about this revelation, especially since I've always known that my face is a little asymmetrical. But for the sake of argument and to satisfy my curiosity, if I had a fairy god mother who happened to know a good plastic surgeon who would give me a symmetry makeover which face do you think I should go with the left-side or the right?
