No, Fuzzy, noooooo! Yes, unfortunately. Fuzzy took the trapper’s bait and is now decorating a floor. Agustina Woodgate reminisced on her own childhood by making rugs from many stuffed animals. You can find more pictures and a video at the link.

Robotic Teddy Bear Smacks You When You Snore

Posted by John Farrier in Robot, Science & Tech on November 16, 2011 at 5:58 pm

Robotic bears are kind of a thing in Japan. This one is called Jukusui-kun, which means “deep sleep.” You lie on top of it while sleeping. If you start to snore, it’ll brush you across the face with its paw (claws are optional) to suggest that you stop. Watch a video of it in action at the link.

Teddy Bears in Space

Posted by Miss Cellania in Science & Tech on December 5, 2008 at 11:30 am

Students at Parkside and Coleridge schools in Cambridgeshire, England sent two teddy bears into space! 21-year-old Henry Hallam led the project to send a helium balloon up to monitor weather conditions in the stratosphere, and enlisted the help of the Space Flight science club, a club for schoolchildren sponsored by Cambridge University.

The soft toys MAT and KMS were named after the first initials of the pupils who helped make their space suits.

Along with their two intrepid colleagues, they were strapped to a beam attached to a foam-padded box containing instrumentation and cameras on Monday.

After rising to an altitude of around 100,000ft, a webcam caught their ‘space-walk’ for posterity before the helium balloon burst.

They then fell to Earth before a parachute opened automatically to provide a soft landing.
