Imperial march: Patrick Boivin is a local guy with an unusual pet—an AT-AT that he has somehow house-trained so it only poops out its little Jabba the Hutts at the park, and never inside the apartment. They can be rambunctious, these little grey guys, repeatedly firing their twin machine guns at terrified tree squirrels, but Patrick’s seems pretty affectionate, considering it’s the Imperial Forces’ standard-issue death machine. Watch him take it for a walk on a lovely summer’s day plus the rest of his creepy-funny-scary-heartwarming videos at bit.ly/ cZsBXr.

Seoul power: Hyundai, the Korean chaebol (roughly translated, it means vertically integrated global dominator), is best known in this country for sensible, if not overly exciting automobiles. At this time, none of them can be ordered with a 114-foot Vuvuzela, standard, optional or dealer-installed. But that may change, because crack Hyundai scientists are pouring their heart and Seoul into just such a device, currently being tested in Jo’burg. Loudly. Take that, Toyota. See (and hear) it in action at bit.ly/cAI9xX.
