If you thought USB Humping Dog was funny, this second generation is even funnier! Watch this USB Exercise Dog & USB Humping Dog as he relentlessly rips his abs to perfection!

USB Exercise Dog:
You can actually see his wash-board like ripped abs! The world would be a very dull place if it wasn’t for the inventors out there with enough time on their hands to come up with something so stratospherically pointless as this USB Dogs. Well you’ve got to do something with your USB ports, so you might as well have a laugh with them. Pop this muscle pup into your PC’s USB port and watch as he starts high-speed-pumping on your machine, yes really. This pint size second version or our worryingly popular USB Dog series may not be the next best thing since sliced… USB Humping Dog, but it’s whole lot funnier.

Pun intended, the “Woofer” is a co-axial speaker system consisting of two dogs. The custom engineered electronic filters make for great sound, and the aesthetics - well, you’ve definitely got two new best friends.

This peculiar looking single occupancy vehicle is called the Eco & Ego. With a quirky name like that, you can expect a lot more wackiness inside.

The idea behind this “EE” car is pets, yes pets. Not a dog or cat, but a plant. The plant sits above the engine bay in clear sight of the driver. It’s hooked up to some futuristic electronics and can tell you how “polluted” you were that day. There’s also an extension to the idea in that you take your plant out every time you drive, sorta like walking your dog.

They might not be able to help if you forget your Pin, but these dogs can get your money out without paws-ing for thought.

The pooches are among an army of ‘assistance dogs’ who have been trained to withdraw money from cash machines for their disabled owners.

They are adept at inserting and withdrawing cards at ATMs to help owners in wheelchairs who are often not able to stretch far enough to do it themselves.

A spokesman for charity Canine Partners, which trains the dogs, said: ‘They put in the card and take it out and take out the money and give it to the person in the wheelchair.

‘They can’t put in the Pin but a person in a wheelchair can go sideways on and do that.’

Toy robot dog is star exhibit in S.J. murder trial
By Howard Mintz

The metallic toy robot dog sits on the prosecution table, perched a few feet from the jury and not looking particularly lethal.

But inside a federal courtroom in San Jose, the toy has been an eerie, star exhibit — a replica of the murder weapon in a trial that began unfolding this week against a former Milpitas engineer charged in a revenge plot that killed a local college student six years ago.

Testimony continued today in the trial of David Lin, who allegedly mailed a bomb in a toy robot dog that resulted in the death of 18-year-old Patrick Hsu in 2001. Prosecutors allege that Lin, 39, mailed the device on behalf of Anthony Chang, who is accused of masterminding a plot against the family of Wendy Hsu, his estranged wife and Patrick’s sister.
