That's How It Happened

Mr X (who doesn't wish to be named) works in Moscow for Russia Today. It's a state sponsored TV station, running 24/7 pro-Putin propaganda. It's hilariously amateurish at times, mostly because of the strong russian accents. Today though they are running a great segment about robo-crayfish being used in the St Petersberg waterworks. The crayfish swim in the outgoing water, continuously testing the water quality. They are hooked up to tiny implanted harnesses that monitor their cardiac rhythms. Ingenious, though they do lack any frickin' laser beams. If you're a Mac user you have to submit to the indignity of Window Media Player 9 to enjoy the streamed broadcast, Windows users can stick with VLC: link (The picture shows a cutting edge Russia Today interview with Grandfather Frost, the Russian Father Christmas).
