This is without a doubt the Doobybrain.com picture of the day. It’s only technically been a little over an hour into the day so far, but I’m pretty sure I won’t find a weirder or more humorous picture at least until tomorrow. This one is courtesy of The Wall Street Journal and the caption reads: Farmer Wu Yulu rode in a rickshaw pulled by his self-made robot near his home on the outskirts of Beijing Thursday. Mr. Wu, who started building robots in 1986, made his latest invention out of materials found in trash piles.
