GIANT ROBOTS PARTROL NORTH KOREA!

/in , /by

South Korean robotics firm Hankook Mirae Technology have created a really cool manned giant robot called Method-2! Weighing in at 1.5 tons the machine has drawn comparisons with the Amplified Mobility Platform suit in blockbuster Avatar and is built to work in extreme hazardous areas where humans cannot go or construction sites and even military purposes.

It stands at 13 Feet tall and took only 12months to get to where it is today and if rumours are to believed is acting as a warning to North Korea and Kim Jong-Un – potentially appearing at the North/South Korean border.

However as cool as this looks and sounds the robot is very young in development and can only take very small steps due to it having balance and power problems.

Hanbook plan to have the final version of Method-2 ready for potential buyers by the end of 2017 and is expected to sell for around £6.8 million.

North Korea’s Hangover Free!

There is a God! No more hangovers equals more partying. Only thing that is left is male contraceptive pills and free money!

The state newspaper Pyongyang Time (great start) says the “suave” liquor will spare you holding your head up when you wake and dragging your sorry ass over the porcelain throne, that surprisingly is despite boasting 30%-40% alcohol.

The holy brew as I’m now calling it, is reportedly made from a type of indigenous ginseng called insam and glutinous rice, and cultivated by an organic farming method.

Giving North Korea’s history with outlandish claims its best to take this with a pinch of salt.

According to the paper – the spirit “is highly appreciated by experts and lovers”.

The drink derives from Kaesong (Kay-Song) Koryo (Core-Yo) insam – a natural herb thought to have medicinal properties. According to the Pyongyang Times, replacing sugar with the scorched, glutinous rice removed the bitterness from the insam and, crucially, the hangover – whatever it is, I hope it tastes good and keeps me partying well into the night! 

Turn UP!!

*Now if only I could get some without going into North Korea.
