Chances are that if you’ve been online for the past 10 years or so, you or somebody you know has an account on Blogger. Sure, maybe that blog has been stagnant for years because you’ve moved on to bigger and better things (WordPress, Tumblr, or social networks like Facebook) but you know that in the back of your mind Blogger is probably the OG blogging platform that got you started in this whole blogging business to begin with. So on this day, take some time out and think about what you were doing 10 years ago on August 23, 1999. Were you blogging? Did you even know what a blog was? Ahh, but you do now and you have Blogger to partially thank for that.

Thomas The Tank Engine as Voltron

It looks like a Chinese toy manufacturer has fused the lives of Thomas The Tank Engine (and his friends) with the 5 lions from the Voltron force and created this odd Thomas The Tank Engine Voltron toy. [via]

The 3 tank engines split into 5 parts and create the head, body, arms and legs of the robot just like Voltron (albeit a bit sillier looking).

Anyway, a Japanese individual has gotten his hands on this toy set and has graciously posted many photos for us to look at (translated page here).
