This is what always really amazes me about Asimo - how human its movements are; when you consider most of the robots we were conditioned to expect in TV or film are (more often than not) actually played by humans, its always a bit of a surprise that Asimo doesn't jerk around like a runaway clockwork toy...

I think that's how they do it all the time: if you're building a tall building and need an even taller crane much of the time you'll have nothing bigger to start with, and the crane has to build itself. This though is impressive, a 30 storey building built in 15 days (360 hours), filmed time-lapse. Oddly the film repeats itself, the second time without musical backing, so is really only three minutes long.

"Come to Zimbabwe! Be dropped head first into a river full of crocodiles!"

But we've used that rope tens of thousands of times before !

I would rather jump over a croc infested lake than head-first into concrete.. eg Laura Patterson who died of "massive cranial trauma", Louisiana Superdome, USA.

What sort of surface would you prefer to have your head dropped on ?

Bungee jumping is statistically safer than skydiving, but I've heard that it can detach your retinas, tear an artery off, lead to an increase in stress levels. Do they mention that in the brochures ?

I saw that when it was broadcast. Quiz compilers have an odd sense of humour sometimes - a recent episode of "Eggheads" had the question "What is the name given to a belt used to hold together a kimono?" and the multiple choice answers were a) obi b) wan) c) kenobi...
