Juice This

So I braved the mall this evening with the illustrious Space Nakji, and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I mean, if I can handle the Tokyo Subway, the Brea Mall is a piece of that stuff with frosting. Not cupcakes. That other thing. Sometimes they explode. Not penguins. ANYWAY.

The "brain", grown from 25,000 neural cells extracted from a single rat embryo, has been taught to fly an F-22 jet simulator by scientists at the University of Florida.

Lens

I've been feeling very creative lately, but I feel as though I've sort of been neglecting my photography. I'm going to try to take more pics, and share them here, starting now. Hope you enjoy!

The Space Nakji Interview

Space Nakji has been interviewed by august publications such as the Korea Times and the Hoboken HoeDown, but Gasoline Hobo has the REAL scoop on what makes this cephalopod tick. In a raw, uncensored conversation, our Chief Hobologist asks the tough questions and maybe gets a little more than he bargained for.

Gasoline Hobo: How are you today, Space Nakji?
Space Nakji: I AM GETTING FAT.

GH: Just how fat are you getting?
