Futuristic Sex Robots Now Just "Sex Robots"
High-C writes "With apologies to Futuristic Sex Robotz, the future is here, and her name is Roxxxy. Truecompanion.com has revealed their answer to the Real Doll, and it looks nice. The site is short on details, pictures, pricing info, but wow." NOTE: some of the above links are not work-safe, for many values of work.

Roxxxy, though, was rather unsexily posed on a couch, not moving a bit — downright creepy, in fact. -

Pacman for Excel 97 and 2000
Bob Gortician writes "From Usenet: A Japanese geek programmed a complete Pacman game running on Excel.

After careful consideration, I'm prepared to call this even cooler than the Flight Simulator in Excel. Excel might not be anyone's first choice for gaming platform, but it's helpful for anyone stuck in an office environment.
