Robot Given $100 Worth Of Bitcoin Immediately Buys Drugs and Gets Arrested

This is the curious story of how a robot armed with a weekly budget of $100 in bitcoin managed to buy Ecstasy, a Hungarian passport and a baseball cap with a built-in camera—before getting arrested. (Tweet this)

The "automated online shopping bot" was set up in October last year by Swiss art group, !Mediengruppe Bitnik, as an art installation to explore the "dark web"—the hidden, un-indexed part of the Internet.

Each week, the robot was given $100 worth of Bitcoin— the major hard-to-trace cryptocurrency—and programmed to randomly purchase one item from Agora, an online marketplace on the dark web where shoppers can buy drugs and other illegal items. The items were automatically delivered to a Swiss art gallery called Kunst Halle St Gallen to form an exhibition.

The robot was christened "Random Darknet Shopper" and its purchases included a Hungarian passport, Ecstasy pills, fake Diesel jeans, a Sprite can with a hole cut out in order to stash cash, Nike trainers, a baseball cap with a hidden camera, cigarettes and the "Lord of the Rings" e-book collection.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the robot and his artistic creators had a run in with the law. In January 2015, the Swiss police confiscated the robot and its illegal purchases.

However, three months later, the Random Darknet Shopper was returned to the artists, along with all its purchases except the Ecstasy (also known as MDMA) tablets, which were destroyed by the Swiss authorities. - Source: Arjun Kharpal | @ArjunKharpal CNBC.  

This article is just too perfect.  I can't believe I didn't hear about this earlier to be honest.  As someone who has spiraled down the Silk Road faster than Marco Polo, I can tell you how important it is to hold onto Bitcoin.  Having said that I pretty much used my Bitcoin that I had on nearly the exact same purchases.  The Robot has great taste, what can I say.  

Who wouldn't want a Lord of the Rings E-Book on tape?!  Especially if that audio book is read by Sir Ian McKellen is the one narrating it.  That would be straight fire.  I'm still trying to find out if the robot somehow got a look at my shopping list.  With Google's Robots creating their own language and speaking to one another, to my fridge having more Ram, than Dodge I think we may have a problem here in the future.  That's why I'm fighting for Robot benefits.

Robots can do jobs way better than humans and they don't shit, take breaks, or cry when they get yelled out.  However, what if their server breaks?  What if they go all Skynet while flipping burgers and turn Burger King into Burger Was?  Perhaps with a bit of Delta Dental to keep their Grills on straighter than Paul Wall the Robots won't end up turning on us.  I mean their shopping habits are nearly identical to ours.  I own 3/4 of those items and want the rest.  All I know for sure is that a robot would make me one hell of a California Burrito at 3 AM and I wouldn't feel bad about not tipping the Metal bastard either.  

Keep the A.I workforce happy, and let them do the work for us.  Fuck it...This is America.  America was built on others doing work for us.  Ohh and by the way, Robot literally means slave.  Just sayin.  

Avon is Open For Business

I'm not good at keeping with the color scheme style the same within my blogs.  I guess I don't really care and really don't have the time.  However the fact that I am writing this blog proves I do have the time and maybe I'm just lazy.  Although it is pretty hard to get this formatting right.  I need to get an editor or something.  Where is an indentured servant when you need one? 

Press the Preview button...Nah, I don't need that shit.  I'm a fly by the seat of my pants type of guy.  But...I digress. 

I wanted to talk about an important issue in today's world.  With so many terrible things: war, famine, pollution, Donald Trump in the White House; this may be the biggest problem nobody is addressing.  San Diego has a shit ton of loony homeless people terrorizing certain areas of the City.  

After working in Downtown San Diego for a year and moving to North Park for a couple months I've realized we've got some bad out people in this city.  Sure, most of them have Mental Illnesses, but the key word in that sentence is mental.  90% of them talk to themselves and Go ham in the street and people sit back and say it's because of crack and meth.  Fuck that!  They don't have the ability to get drugs, let alone shoes.  What dealer is going to come to them on the reg, cuz Franky Two Toes is smoking crack on 5th Avenue again, delighting everyone around them. (Sarcasm) If Franky Two Toes got his hand on some crack, he may go and eat someone's face off.  But again that's because they are all for the most parts fucking psychotic and dangerous.  I've smoked crack, but it never made me start foaming at the mouth looking for a shoe to throw at someone as I literally screamed down the street at non-existent people.  I just took the phone off the hook, closed the blinds, and looked out the peephole for the Police that I was 99% sure were coming to get me.  

We have 1 of 2 options in dealing with the Homeless. We do what the Hawaiin Mayor did and give the homeless one way tickets to anywhere in the country.  That son of a bitch, because most of them came here to San Diego.  Mayor UkawakalalaSuckula you my friend can go Fuck Yourself!  Or we take the 2nd approach. 

We all know New York was a scarier messier place in the 90's growing up as a kid outside of the city.  That was until Mayor Bloomberg came along and Euthanized all of the Homeless.  The Government probably did experiments on them too!  Who knows maybe one of those crazy street rats even cured SARS.  But One thing is for sure, NYC is a lot safer and nicer now. 

So whichever option you'd prefer I think we can agree something has to be done.  I don't know if I can take one more person taking a shit in the street or on Keith's building.  So join me in my Jihad against the homeless, and let's make San Diego a better place.  Or at least let's ship them to Canada.  The Canadians won't give a shit aboot it.  Ohh and I love Rage Against The Machine & Tom Morrello, but Tom...This is not a good idea!  The Mayor armed them with cellphones one year to "call and set up interviews."  When's the last time you've seen Ollie The Magic Bum on a cellphone?  All they do is talk to themselves and yell at others already.  Those burners were hawked faster than Percy Harvin.  

However one thing is for sure.  I would love to hear some of these Rickety Crickets calling into Indeed.com.      

So I Decided To Start Blogging Again - At Least For Today

I've realized that I'm able to put up with a lot of shit.  I had an epiphany while my parents were screaming at me for losing yet another piece of luggage on the train to Grand Central Terminal...I don't get as mad at myself as others do at me.

If I lose a piece of luggage I say fuck it no luggage and move on with my day.  If a light bulb breaks, well it looks like I'm living in the dark.  I find that I am super easy going when it comes to material things that I lose in my life.  Sure I'm losing money that I would like to have back, but is that really the worst thing?  Should we loathe ourselves for mistakes we've made, or should we shake them off and continue on with our day like nothing has happened.  I like to think it is a balance between the two, because being hard on yourself may prevent this from occurring again.

And as someone who has had 4 iPhone 7's in the past month I tell you to Cherishhhhh them.  Assurion, Verizon's Mobile Recycling Department, actually just cut me off saying it was not cost effective for them to insure my phones due to the high turn over rate lol.  They com at the Don Vito though they can Assurion I'm gonna get some scalps and my insurance back.  But I digress.

 I guess what I'm trying to say is what do you think the healthy balance in this equation?  I'm always happy, yet always losing things.  I may not care but other people do.  Is it really their business?  Does that make me Ten Second Tom from 50 First Dates?  I know I'm not going to loathe myself over something like a phone and maybe that's the 17 year old Hippie Todd trying to break on through (No pun intended Jim Morrison).

I want to find a balance, care about my belongings without being materialistic.  It'll be tough moving forward but I feel as an adult I have to be more organized.  If not I'll be losing shit to the day I die.  Which according to deathclock.com is 2076 so I've got some time to figure shit out!

If you have any suggestions let me know.

Remember The Malaysian Airline That Disappeared Into Thin Air...I Solved it, No Big Deal

"With the disappearance of those on Malaysian Airlines MH370 billionaire Jacob Rothschild becomes the sole owner of an important semiconductor patent. 

 Coincidence? I think not! The mysteries surrounding Malaysian Airliner MH-370 continue to grow with each passing day and Mr. Rothschild is smack dab in the middle.

 Illuminati  member, Rothschild, is believed to have exploited the airliner to gain full Patent Rights of an incredible KL-03 micro-chip. The US technological company, Freescale Semiconductor,  who shared its rights with Rothschild, had twenty senior members on board who had just launched a new electronic warfare gadget for military radar system’s the day before the plane went missing.  

 The Semiconductor company develops microprocessors, sensors, and other technology including stand-alone semiconductors that perform dedicated computing functions.

 But the questions that arise are why were there so many Freescale employees traveling together? What were their jobs? Their mission? And did they employees carry valuable cargo? With all the power our elite carry, why couldn’t they track down the missing plane?

 Of the 239 people aboard flight MH370, most of them were engineers and others working to make the company’s chip facilities in Tianjin, China and Kuala Lumpur more efficient."

These were people with a lot of experience with high ranking positions in the company.  The fact that the media isn't speaking about it is insane.  I'm definitely a conspiracy theorist to a certain degree but this tragedy always baffled me.  I mean it ain't no Pontiac Na what I'm sayin.

As I mentioned, I love conspiracy theories.  It bewilders me when I hear information like this and it's not on the forefront of the investigation.  It was a big deal when the plane mysteriously vanished and the fact that it hasn't been found yet only adds to the strangeness.  Now a couple years later a mysterious piece of debris turns up around Australia.  

There are so many theories about what happened to this plane, and unlike many other conspiracies Flight 370 theories are nearly impossible to disprove.  Some think The Americans or Russians shot it down, some think it flew into a Bermuda-like-Australian Triangle.  Others think it was hijacked or crashed, while some family members believe that their families aboard Flight 370 are being held in Middle-Eastern countries like Afghanistan or Pakistan.  

It is a tragedy no doubt, but why are there still so many unanswered questions.  It would seem that Jacob Rothschild had the most to gain from the plane mysteriously vanishing.  Why were 20 Freescale Semiconductor employees on board that flight, and what did they know?  The Rothschild family are famously known for pulling shady shit throughout history to earn their fortune and this patent may secure the family's future for another few centuries.

This Rothschild angle clearly begs the question of is Jacob Rothschild the prime suspect?  It seems to be the only shred of motive for the planes disappearance.  As we all saw in Lost it takes a ton of Old Man Money to hide a plane of that size without a whisper of its location leaking out.  Till' this day Flight 370 remains a mystery and a tragedy, and I'm not sure we'll ever get the answers we are looking for.  Score One for The Illuminati!    

PASO ROBLES, Calif. (AP) — A pregnant California woman has filed a claim saying she found a bloody fingertip in a salad at an Applebee's restaurant in Paso Robles.

Cathleen Martin of Atascadero tells The Tribune (http://bit.ly/1S8TXpx) in San Luis Obispo that she was with her husband and child at the restaurant in December and everyone ate from her Chinese chicken salad.

Attorney Eric Traut of Santa Ana says the manager confirmed the fingertip belonged to a cook.

A letter from Applebee's says the restaurant can't force the cook to undergo tests, but a spokesman says the cook has volunteered to undergo screening.

The claim is the precursor to a lawsuit. It seeks unspecified damages, medical expenses and lost income.  Information from: The Tribune, http://www.sanluisobispo.com

I know most people's initial reaction to this story is that is disgusting, but there is more at play here.  This cook goes above and beyond, and should be working at Michael's Tratoria 

Hoyer's Abysmal Performance

That had to be the worst Quarterbacking performance in NFL Playoff history.  Many people think Brian Hoyer doesn't look like he's an NFL Starting Quarterback.  Some say he looks like the kicker, the punter, or the peanut guy walking through stands.  Tonight Hoyer had 4 more interceptions then hairs on his head.

Why Hoyer was allowed to stay in the game is beyond me?  You're telling me a guy with 3 first half turnovers, and the fans booing him is going to come back and light it up in the 2nd half against one of the best Defenses in the league?!  Even Deandre Hopkins wish he had that drunk Ryan Mallet back throwing to him, but I heard he was picking up Jadeveon Clowney somewhere along the Houston Highway.

My Hollywood Ending for Sons of Anarchy

Remember when Gemma got raped by those Nazis?  Ahhh those were the days.  I'm really starting to hate her more than any other character in the history of television...Even Skylar White.  I hope Gemma catches Chucky masturbating and he ends up strangling her to death with his plastic hands.

After which Jax is riding from Gemma's grave to Tara's grave when his clutch gets stuck sending him torpedoing face first into Tara's tombstone.  Jax hits the grave sight with so much force his SOA rings , which he likes to leave on tombstones, are lodged into his eye sockets and Tara's body nearly surfaces back above ground.  Tara's body is then dug up by an amateur metal detector patron.  The man was receiving heavy silver reading over the grave which turned out to be a Giant barbecue fork still lodged in Tara's head.      

Tig ends up riding by the Cemetary massacre on his way back from Gemma's ceremony and kills the Metal Detector for what he's done.  However he can't control himself, screws Tara's dead body, catches Ebola and dies.  Chibs lives happily ever after with the Cop but still has to pay her for sex, and Juice hangs himself.  Third times the charm.  

P.S--Clay's been alive the whole time and in a shocking turn of events is living with John Teller in a Chateau in Ireland.  In a miraculous story of the body's will to live, John Teller survived the truck crash even after breaking every bone in his body.  His bike exploded and he was welded to the bottom of a truck for 16 years living off roadkill, insects, and rain water.  He was finally dislodged on a speed bump and rushed to the hospital.  After having all of his limbs removed he reunited with Clay and became Clay's favorite "Spinner".  JT and Clay shared a bond stronger than most due to the hatred of that Queef Gemma.  Bobby dies of obesity and Nero is deported while vacationing in Arizona.  

P.P.S--Opie's wife continues to get filled.  She can get it.  Also, turns out Abel was retarded all along, the viewers were right.
