A Robot Dog Poo-Chi, todays article


Poo-Chi (or Poochi or Poochie) was a robot dog, created by Tiger Toys after the success of the Furby. It is one of the first generations of robopet toys. Poo-Chi was originally designed by artist Samuel James Lloyd and manufactured by Sega Toys. After becoming a huge hit in Japan they made a deal with Tiger Toys to distribute it in North America.
The Poo-Chi had 5 sensors on its body: Touch, Light, Sound, IR, and the 'bone sensor', which was just a set of magnets. Each sensor made Poo-Chi do something different, and the amount each sensor was used determined what kind of mood Poo-Chi would be in. The IR sensor was used to 'talk' to other Robo-Chi pets, such as other Poo-Chis, Super Poo-Chis, Meow-Chis, Dino-Chis, Chirpy-Chis and Petal-Chis. How ever, they were unable to speak with Furbies. Poo-Chi spoke using pre-recorded sounds such as barks, whines, and growls. These, were not very realistic and often sounded more like 'beeps' than anything.

Philippines relieved after Pacman wins, todays article

From five-star hotel lounges and army camps to Manila's slums, Filipinos gathered today and celebrated Manny Pacquiao's win over Oscar de la Hoya in a boxing victory that gave the country a momentary respite from financial worries.

Many of the usually bustling Manila streets were empty of traffic. Police reported few crimes.

Pacquiao (48-3-2, 36 knockouts) came up two weight classes to fight de la Hoya (39-6) who dropped down to meet him at 147 pounds. De la Hoya, who has become richest and most marketable star in boxing over a 16-year span, had a big reach advantage and towered over Pacquiao, setting off fears he could outpunch the Filipino star.

When de la Hoya declined to come out after the eighth round of the Las Vegas bout, the cheering and jeers rose to a roar here as followers yelled Pacquiao's name, waved Philippine flags and threw punches in the air.

"Superb, that's David slaying Goliath," said Enrique Ancheta, 67, who along with about 2,000 fans jammed a small stadium in the agricultural city of Cauayan, about 175 miles northeast of Manila.

President Arroyo, a key supporter of Pacquiao, called to congratulate him.

"His triumph is again a great unifier of Filipinos," Mrs. Arroyo's spokesman Jesus Dureza said. "While he was an underdog to bookies and matchmakers abroad, he was already a winner to all Filipinos."

Amid a surfeit of problems hounding the country, Pacquiao was a "saving grace," Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said.

"The winnings of Manny Pacquiao always come at the proper time," Ermita said. "We have this economic downturn, suddenly the morale of the Filipino people is promptly boosted."

Pacquiao's mother, Dionisia, said she could not stand watching her son square off with a bigger foe.

"I was nervous in the beginning because Oscar de la Hoya was big. I didn't want to watch and I just ran to the prayer room with my friends," she said. "Our prayers were powerful."

The Dream Match!! Pacman Vs. Golden Boy


Pacquiao on verge of history, ready to reign over Dela Hoya...


A final weigh-in, as usual, officially ended the training period and began a 24-hour wait for the main event. This final weigh-in, as expected, was trouble-free.
Manny Pacquiao tipped the scales at 142 pounds on Saturday (Friday, US time) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Oscar de la Hoya came in at 145 pounds.
Both were well within the welterweight (147-pound) limit set for their match. Now that that has been set aside, everybody knows what time it is. Game time.
"There's nothing more we can do. Now Manny knows he’s going there to do his job," Freddie Roach, Pacquiao's trainer, said.
"If you have a fighter who is going to come at me and has the heart to fight as hard as he can, then I welcome it," de la Hoya said. "I open up the door and I let them right into my home. Hey, let's fight."
Pacquiao (47-3-2, win-loss-draw) clashing with de la Hoya (39-5-1, win-loss-draw) was unthinkable only earlier this year.
But then Pacquiao got bigger, looked far more improved in terms of his skills, and began to string up one world title after another.
At the same time, de la Hoya, who was ready to hang up his gloves, was looking for a bankable high-profile opponent who would give his stellar resume a pretty, final entry. Read full story on this site..
