First flight

A successful flight of the 20" long Biomechnical mud dobber was just achieved.  It will eventually be taken off it's security harness once we have complete control.

Rogue pet

The very pissed off rogue was subdued and held in chains and then was subjected to our shock treatment for rage neutralization. We hope to place it in our petting zoo.

Rogue Bm

The lab punks at Flimflam Lab discovered a rogue Biomechanical temporarily trapped in the ceremonial pit at the lab. It escaped but they pursued and captured it as it entered a culvert.

Revolt 7000

Tired of your disgusting, evil, destructive thoughts? Revolt and take advantage of Flimflam Lab's end of summer special featuring the REVOLT 7000, our new portable shock therapy unit. Businesses, we will come out and give a discount on whole staff treatments.

E.I.P.

Pictured, is the latest of TGB accessories- the EIP which is a device that analyzes your mind and indicates areas that you need to work on. Grab both copper cuffs on the arms after a moment of peaceful nothingness and the EIP transmits your mind makeup via Bluetooth connection to TGB. TGB then analyzes your mind and sends back corrections via the Adjustinator.

It's alive!

Our first Mini-brain emerged from Ms. Brains incubator unit. Four more on the way!

Oops!

Dr. Stone's anabolic steroid research has been put on hold at the prestigious Awry Institute ( a division of Flimflam Labs) due to some odd results. Fortunately, only one of Professor Conrad's clones was used in the trial.

Oh well

Disaster in the Lab. Our invitro fertilization attempt using Kasey the Kinderbot exploded losing 8 mini brains. So much for Octobot.

Tesla's Birthday Celebration

A successful outing was had by all last Saturday. THEGIANTBRAIN and it's accessories  had a rewarding field trip into Austin.

We are back

New posts to follow soon!

STIMULATOR 2.0

The lab is about ready to roll out "Stimulator 2.0. It will interface with THEGIANTBRAIN and the human brain. Knowledge can be shared, purged, enhanced and stored. It will get a test run at Plutopia 2011.

Working on the Link

"A hidden camera records Professor Conrad being subjected to a test of TGB Stimulator. The word is that he volunteered for the test, survived and said it was like getting the buzz off of seven cups of coffee instantly." This test was done mid year last year. The Lab is about ready to reveal the new version of the "STIMULATOR"

Rogue Bms surface

It is being reported that some Rogue Biomechanicals are leaving their subterranean hideouts  and mixing with bedbugs on the surface.

TGB new ride

THEGIANTBRAIN has been given a new ride in the form of the remote control Lowrider. It will have it's debut during SxSW in March.

THEGIANTBRAIN DOES SxSW '10

TGB appeared with it's group of technicians at the Plutopia Party at the Mexican American Cultural Center during this years SxSW

TGB SEEN AROUND TOWN

 Some people were were captivated by THEGIANTBRAIN while some choose to ignore it while at Austin Futures Fair recently.

THEY ARE HUGE

Huge mud dobber nest have been spotted throughout the Hill Country. A couple of the Flimflam lab's scientists investigate one location. What has been thought to be military aircraft, may actually be huge mud dobber wasps The investigators cover themselves in red mud to camouflage them from what ever made these. 

THEGIANTBRAIN and it's new Ride

Recently, TGB has been given a Lowrider to travel in. At the present time, the Lowrider is remotely controlled via a tether, but soon it will be radio controlled.

We have branched out

Flimflam Laboratories is so pleased with it's new textural coating on THE GIANT BRAIN'S Lowrider that is offering a $99.99 special for a textured elastomeric coating over your entire vehicle. (18 wheelers excluded). The coating flexes 250% and cuts your heating bill by 20%!  Pictured is a behind the scenes view of our custom car facility

ROGUE LEADER CAPTURED

Two rogue Biomechanicals were captured yesterday while trying to get across the border. Rogue leader Allar is the one in purple. We suspect that they were involved in the shooting down of the Jalapeno Space Probe.

TOXBLOX

New at Flimflam- TOXBLOX - ! Our new toxic waste reprocessing plant has just sucessfully completed a test run and TOXBLOX are coming out the door. TOXBLOX are a new and exciting kid safe toy building blocks made from Dioxohol production toxic waste.

Rogues?

Plotting the trajectory of the ill fated Space Probe, investigators located what appears to be the device used to shoot the Probe down. It was the Radio Flash 1.0 pistol ( hand held NEP (non-nuclear electro-magnetic pulse) device). The weapon was stolen months ago from Flimflam Laboratories. It had been highly modified and left partially hidden in a pile of hay.

VICTIMS FOUND

In a remote arroyo on the western edge of the Edwards Plateau, a rancher found the remains of the Jalapeno Space Probe's Biomechanicals near the massacre site or the Tiny People. The biomechanicals had been picked clean of valuable parts prior to the discovery. Professor Conrad said that it was the work of the Rogue Biomechanicals. The investigation continues.

NOSE CONE FOUND!

Early this morning, searchers found the remains of the Jalapeno Space probe in the crotch of a dead tree. It's protective skin burned off revealing the carnage of the crash. The miniature Biomechnicals inside are missing and we hope they survived. The search goes on.

Jalapeno Space Probe

Secretly two months ago, the lab launched a rocket with a Biomechanical jalapeno nose cone filled with small Biomechanicals to probe deep space. Unfortunately, it went off orbit and disappeared. The propulsion unit was found the other day minus the nose cone. Search parties are still looking for it.

TGB Stimulater

An unauthorized photo taken recently at the lab shows Professor Conrad serving as a test dummy for the newly created Stimulator which will be used to waken THE GIANT BRAIN from it's frequent stupors. The test went well and the professor said it was like getting an instant buzz off of seven cups of coffee.

Now required

THE GIANT BRAIN has stated that Dioxahol Lite be drunk by all lab members while on the job. A new intravenous form will soon appear.

Duped

We have been tricked. After the Plutopia party, THE GIANT BRAIN, with help from the rogue Biomechanicals, took over the lab and have made the staff including Professor Conrad virtual prisoners. Since then, we have been outfitting TGB with all sorts of diabolical devices to be used to gain control of all beings living on the surface of the earth. We will be releasing pictures of our work as authorization is  given.  BEHOLD- THE GIANT BRAIN

Dioxahol

Dioxahol and Dioxahol Lite were introduced to the public for the first time at the Plutopia Party on March 15, 2010. All stocks were immediately withdrawn and returned to the Lab for tweaking.

(See disclaimer in a past post)

BEHOLD! The tricked out GB

The newly tricked out GIANT BRAIN and the Jalapeno Space Probe will make an appearance Monday night at the Plutopia Party during SxSW Interactive.

Truce

Professor Conrad has established a truce with the rogue biomechanicals. He was able to do this after hacking into their GIANT BRAIN. Because of this, THE GIANT BRAIN has been brought to the surface and is at the lab. The staff is now making modification to it and it will no longer be totally controlled by the rogues. We hope this peace will last.

EUREKA!

Eureka! I have duplicated my elusive lab experiment in which I created the first bio-mechanical agave. I had been called a charlatan since I could not duplicate it. This time here is photographic proof. I call it Agave mechanicus. It has a mechanical hand which will assist in harvesting it for tequila production.

NIGHT RAVEN RETURNS

The Night Raven has returned and is perched atop the Swamp Strider.

Spider and the Harp

In one of Marcos Caliente's dreams a spider sings and plays a harp.

Marcos Returns

Marcos Caliente has returned to the laboratory to save us from the rogue biomechanicals and corporate destruction of the world!

Lead guitar player found!

Sportsmen, while hunting for Rogue Biomechanicals in the abandoned Lost and Found Mine located on the grounds of Flim Flam Laboratory, found the long missing lead guitarist of the Screamin' Babyheads band. With combined efforts by both the Lab and Flimflam Productions, we hope to get him playing again.

Restoration Complete

The ED WOOD MEMORIAL PERFORMANCE CHAMBER is now open and ready for operation. Historical renovation to the Dioxohol plant has been completed and all toxic material safely disposed of thus allowing the Chamber to be safely used for you music and film needs. Flimflam Productions is now operating the facility.

Performance Chamber

Flimflam Productions has taken the abandoned Flim Flam Laboratory's Dioxihol* plant and is remodeling it into a state of the art Performance Chamber.

(*Dioxihol is the refreshing alcoholic beverage made from toxic industrial and laboratory waste.)

RADIO FLASH 1.0 PISTOL

Announcing the new RADIO FLASH 1.0 PISTOL just released from the Lab. It is a hand held NNEMP (non-nuclear electro-magnetic pulse) device. Each hunter participating in the Annual RBH&R will be provided one to use on the hunt. There are two power settings provide on this model - "stun" and "wipeout". The hunt date is pending.

ANNUAL HUNT APPROACHES

Soon to be announced is Flim Flam Laboratory's annual ROGUE BIOMECHANICAL TROPHY HUNT AND ROUND UP. Sportsmen will be provided with the newly developed RADIO FLASH 1.0 Pistol. No longer will the "Bioms" be blasted to pieces but will be well preserved and ready to be mounted on attractive plaques provided by the Lab. Pictured here are some of the Rogues recently captured that will be released two hours before the hunt. Check back for the Hunt date.

It all went wrong!

After days of tedious work implanting our nano-faux human life forms in carefully grown jalapenos, one of our new techies placed the specimens on a gas grill instead of in the incubator. It all occurred during a lunch break. Jalapenos are now banned from the lunch room and snack bar. Professor Conrad, although devastated, said it could have been worse. They could have been placed in the microwave oven. (Photo via Lori Reed from a Pottery Barn flyer)

Fight Results

It was "The Thing" in 17 minutes over "Computer Face". Mr. Bean will live to referee.

Fight Saturday

Another fight between the Titans occurred outside the Lab in 100 degree heat this weekend. This time the mighty Thing took on Computer Face with Mr. Bean again as referee. The results of that fight will appear in the next posting.

Coming for Christmas

We hope to get our new Vermin Plucker in the stores by Christmas.

Ring side

When we get bored at the Lab, we throw a couple Biomechanicals in the ring.

Dancing Skeletons

The lab's Dancing Skeletons, pPod/Dynamo Sound Thrusters, Prickly Pear Cactus Rhythm Synthesizer and more appeared at the recent SxSW Plutopia Party.

Lab in action

The new Scatscan is precisely locating the position for the Marvic 5000 transplant in mineralized frog.

Back again

Professor Conrad has just return from a refresher organ swap class at a hidden location somewhere in China. Stay tuned for new and innovative uses of the Marvic 5000 Artificial Multi-tasking Organ in conjunction with the Lab's new Scatscan 500.

I have regained control

Fear not; I am Back. I have defeated my evil brother.

I have taken over...

Professor Conrad has lost control....
