literally unbelievably useful

the united arab emirates is pleased to present robot jockeys for camel races! [bbc.co.uk via slashdot]. now before you shake your head and go "oh, united arab emirates", know this; the robots should help fight the child trafficking ring that supplies the camel races with their current child jockeys (but not by being crime fighting robots. just replacement jockeys). they're still working on a useful excuse for the 300 private islands shaped like a world map, though.
