I just don't even know how to feel about this.

I think its pretty silly to teach puppets about nanotechnology... but hey - if you could just use puppets to teach people about nanotechnology... that would be something...

Hee hee. In this (recently past?) age of cynicism, it's nice to see such an unselfconscious expression of passion for a topic.

This is a friggin' time bomb. What happens when nanotechnology falls into the hands of the puppets?

The puppets were created by man. They rebelled. They evolved. And they have a plan.

I wanted to post this but it would have been self-linky since I know the guy who filmed it. He is none other than Mefi's own Large Marge.

I think it's a shame how the intelligence of puppets is so often under-estimated. I heard Bert and Ernie were pretty talented astrologists.
