Now For Something Completely Different

[Leck]

Our overlords are here, and it's scary, not just for our current generations, but more importantly, for our future generations.

This is a fight between a human (albeit not a professional fighter) and a robot. The robot was controlled via a handheld console, however, Chinese manufacturers will use AI to control their robots going forward.

Welcome to the apocalypse.

No Paddy Melons? 🤣

Dad had a mate that used to come up from Sydney and a few times taken a few paddy melons back home to the pub. Called them bush melons and got a few to try them 😂😂😂😂
Apparently the taste lingered on your tongue for ages

For 26 years, Satoru Takaba paid rent on an apartment he never set foot in, determined to preserve the exact scene where his wife, Namiko, was murdered in 1999. With no leads and the investigation stalled, the case went cold but Satoru refused to move on. He believed that one day science would advance enough to reveal the truth hidden in that room.
Month after month, year after year, he kept the lease. He left the bloodstains untouched, the footprints undisturbed, and the apartment frozen in time like a sealed time capsule. While most families try to escape the place where tragedy struck, Satoru held on, convinced that patience and technology would eventually expose the killer.
In late 2025, his faith finally paid off. Investigators returned with modern DNA tools and analyzed the preserved evidence that had sat untouched for decades. The results pointed to Kumiko Yasufuku, Satoru’s former high school classmate, who had harbored a long‑standing grudge after he rejected her romantic advances. After 26 years of waiting, Satoru’s devotion brought justice to his wife’s memory.

Moving through the jungle unseen, watching the enemy and reporting back, they became known to Japanese soldiers as the Green Shadows.

Soldiers of the Papuan Infantry Battalion (PIB) ranged ahead of Australian forces during the Second World War. In the dense jungle of New Guinea, their scouting and knowledge was vital.

Their first clash came on 23 July 1942, when 35 PIB soldiers ambushed Japanese troops advancing towards Kokoda. They went on to fight alongside Australians through the Kokoda campaign.

The PIB proved so valuable that more battalions were raised, and by 1945 they formed the Pacific Islands Regiment. Around 3,500 Papua New Guineans served in the regiment, fighting in almost every Australian campaign in the area.

At least 51 died. Today their names are on the Roll of Honour here at the Australian War Memorial.
The regiment lives on as the Royal Pacific Islands Regiment, the core of the Papua New Guinea Defence Force.

WW2 Lifesavers.

At first glance, it looks like little more than a giant yellow fishing float bobbing in the sea. In reality, it was a German Luftwaffe rescue buoy, designed to give downed airmen a fighting chance of survival in the English Channel.

Anchored securely in position, the buoy contained a surprisingly well-equipped shelter. Despite having only around four square metres of floor space, improved versions could accommodate several airmen and contained bunks, dry clothing, food, drinking water, first-aid supplies and emergency lighting.
There were even cigarettes, games, alcohol and chocolate to help exhausted aircrew while they waited to be rescued.

Painted bright yellow and prominently marked with Red Cross symbols, these strange little shelters became a distinctive feature of the Channel during the Battle of Britain.

Imagine ditching in the freezing Channel and then spotting one of these!
