Reminds me of this drug prevalent in South America. It's called scopolamine and it temporarily freezes free will in humans! Scary stuff.

This reminds me of how they used to counter war elephants. They found that squealing pigs really freaked elephants out, so they would set pigs on fire and have them run around. Disgusting but hey, really interesting and it worked apparently.

Oh I feel stupid. I only read the headline and stared at the picture for a good 10 seconds. "What the hell does this have to do with the World Wrestling Federation"

If you don't mind real player there are many many more video/audio lectures on their webcast website.

They're organized by semester. Enjoy

Just for some scale, the Hiroshima bomb was somewhere around 15,000 tons of TNT depending on who you talk to. Even with that said, 44 tons of TNT is still pretty impressive. Being a physicist, I'm definitely curious to find out how they did it

Theo Jansen spoke at the TED convention (if you haven't heard of it check it out, "tedtalks" on youtube. Amazing people with extraordinary ideas) and the video was quite interesting. He treats these creations as actual lifeforms and you'll probably find yourself questioning the same thing once you find out how simple, yet wonderfully effective they are.
