Gizmodo AU

That wasn’t an order — you don’t have to, but three brave Aussies are about get into a rickety rickshaw to do just that, for charity — and with a twenty-first century technology twist to go with their dilapidated drive. More after the jump.

Mr. Woo, the Chinese Robot Farmer Guy, Hits Hard Times

Not even wacky Chinese farmers are immune to the unstable economic climate, it seems, as our old friend Mr. Woo was recently forced to sell off some of his robot creations to make some extra scratch. This news is especially sad when we consider the fact that Woo, who has built 26 robots over the past 30 years, considers each of them his sons. “They are all my sons, so they must bear my surname,” he said. There was no word on which of his sons went on the auction block, so we hope it is not Wu No. 25 (pictured), the son Wu loves best.

PoleRider is Part Rickshaw, Part Strip Club

Why go out to the strip club when the strip club can come to you? That’s right, for $US300 an hour ($US200 each additional), you can rent out a rickshaw in NYC from the entrepreneurs at PoleRider. It is your all-inclusive mobile exotic dancing solution complete with a pole and tacky lights. Ahh…pole dancing. It’s everywhere you want to be. Thanks PoleRiders—by the way, do you need any extra rickshaw operators? [PoleRiders (slightly NSFW) via CraziestGadgets]
