Japanese inventor, Kenji Ishida, is planning to make 10 lucky (and undoubtedly rich) purchasers owners of these toys in the run up to Christmas, having first displayed them at the Maker Faire in Tokyo during the first week of December. For those willing to wait a few years, Ishida plans to have created a life size, drivable model by 2030."

Readycharged writes: "The Daily Mail reports on a piece from The Sunday Times revealing that University College London have seen an increasing number of Muslim students boycotting lectures on Evolution due to clashes with the Koran.

Steve Jones, Emeritus Professor of Human Genetics, says, "I've had one or two slightly frisky discussions with kids who belonged to fundamentalist Christian churches, now it's Islamic overwhelmingly."

He adds, "'What they object to — and I don't really understand it, I am not religious — they object to the idea that there is a random process out there which is not directed by God."

The article also reveals that Evolutionary Biologist and former Oxford Professor Richard Dawkins also experienced Muslim walking out of such lectures."
