Passenger: Don’t drive through the water! You don’t know how deep it is!
Driver: This is a Land Cruiser -we’ll drive right through along the bottom, mate.

Companies make it hard to tell if videos like this one, which shows Peter the Elephant using a Samsung Galaxy smartphone with the help of his lovely assistant, are advertisements or just genuinely cool animal videos.

Intelligent Automation developed the Multi-Arm Unmanned Ground Vehicle as a military robot to deal with bombs and such, but it may just have a hidden talent as a barber/hairdresser.

If walking off a pier or into a fountain isn’t enough of a deterrent to Walking While Texting, then perhaps this will: you may just walk into a bear roaming the community!

That’s what La Crescenta, California, resident Vaz Terdandenyan found out the hard way while walking and texting one afternoon:

“I got up this morning from helicopter noise and I was trying to see what was going on,” Terdandenyan told KTLA.

“I was texting my boss that I would be late for work because something is going on, and I’m coming down the stairs and I see the bear coming up the stairs toward me.”

“I turned back and I ran for my life. I guess running for a marathon came in handy because I was in shape to run away!”
