Brendan Koerner Teaches Stephen Colbert About CFLs and the Environment
9:00AM Benny Goldman | Friend of Giz and contributing editor Brendan I. Koerner was on the Colbert Report last night to school Stephen on ways to save the environment. Koerner discussed the paper/plastic debate, using air conditioning vs. windows, and whether it’s cheaper to buy CFLs or regular bulbs. Colbert let the green-concious Koerner off pretty easy, but he did manage to raise a fascinating point: If CFLs weren’t meant to be licked, why do they look so damn delicious?

You remember when we first told you about BumBot, the solution contrived by the former DoD contractor. “If it wasn’t chasing criminals, it’d be fighting Osama bin Laden.” Granted, it’s only equipped with a deBUManising water jet turret, but his dreams were bigger: “I wanted to put a flamethrower on it, but they wouldn’t let me do that.” The police shut down his Taser plans too. You saw the original pics, but now here’s a video of BumBot in action, from Colbert. [Colbert] More »
