upcoming game horizon zero dawn has mech
animals scientists out of Livorno Italy
are developing robotic octopi these

along the ocean floor grasp onto objects
and swim just like the real-life

easily traverse hard-to-reach places and
manipulate objects with their robotic
tentacles just as a real octopus has

shape-memory alloy to flex their

Loch Ness monster exists as myth and as
an amalgam of myth like Elvis and Tupac

characters we secretly all hope is

Loch Ness monster you mean totally
exists and it’s awesome then yeah it’s
like the Loch Ness monster well we’ll
have to continue hoping as the recent
discovery of a 30-foot Loch Ness monster
brings us 0% closer to finding it
Norwegian company cons burg maritime
began scanning the area of Loch Ness
where recent sightings of the monster
had been reported and certainly their
pulse is raised when a Nessie shake
figure came up on their scans
unfortunately though this was just a
prop used in the shooting of the 1970s
movie the private life of Sherlock
Holmes
originally the prop had humps on it keep
it afloat which the director requested
be removed as he didn’t like the look
and what may be asked is the purpose of
that hideous gargoyle marry a decoy man
special effects wizard eavers heeded the
directors demands and naturally the
Nessie prop sank to the depths
