The Japanese have their non-nagging synthetic wives, the Saudis have their Shariah-compliant humanoid citizens, Americans are content with a backflipping supra-human, and now the Chinese get their very own 50lb, poop-less, robo-dog...
Meet Laikago – named after Laika, a Soviet dog who was the first living creature to orbit the Earth.
The Chinese-made robot dog weighs 22kg, a bit less than a common Labrador, and is around 60cm tall.
Presented with little comment...

As if by clockwork, president Trump has once again managed to dominated the holiday weekend news cycle, with a strategically timed, Friday afternoon tweet, in which he claimed that Time called to tell him that he was "probably" going to be named the magazine's person of the year, but that he turned the offer down.
"Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named "Man (Person) of the Year," like last year but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!" the president tweeted.

For decades in the United States, turkey has been the center of the Thanksgiving meal. Some eccentrics may offer other choices, such as roast beef or duck, but nowadays, it's a sure bet that few households will be offering horse meat as one of Thursday's featured dishes.
Horse meat has largely disappeared from the Western diet, and not even our pets eat much horse anymore.
Dear friends and supporters,
I did not intend to take this week off, but need a break to recover from the effort of putting my home back together. I will be back with you after Thanksgiving.
