Google's Artificial Neural Network is being used to make Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas even more fearful, and for that, we thank the creators for new dog anxieties. And the U.S. Navy teamed up to produce the first wave generated power machine that basically looks like a bulky buoy.

Switzerland's EPFL space agency realized its old cubesats were cluttering up space so it came up with a hungry hippo of a satellite that should start gobbling up its smaller kin by 2018. And an architect hacked a 3D printer with LEDs and is creating beautiful paintings with light.

    Whether you're a fan of the movie, the novel, or just a certain scene re-enacted by cats, Hunter S. Thompson's Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas is one unique experience. Now, some person has gone and whipped up some great fanart, combining Hunter's world of drugs with none other than Nintendo's plumbers, the Mario brothers.
