In the future, two things will keep us warm: the cuddly polar-bear stuffed animal by our sides and the fire under our indestructible chocolate.
The PopSci staff will be out of the office the rest of this week so we can spend some time with our families. (We'll miss you, too.) In the meantime, enjoy our favorite posts from this week.

In the future, the global financial market will be controlled by a small group of polar-bear executives. No one will believe the conspiracy theorists.
It's a shotgun wedding, officiated by a robot matador, the cloned baby bull that brought them together resting comfortably in a newly invented incubator backpack. And the roaches, my God, the roaches. Only in the future.

This Texan junkie is both sad and happy. Happy because he's on the way to kicking his destructive addiction using non-habit-forming synthetic opiates newly derived from scorpion venom. And he has a prototype of Darpa's dream Terminator arm, which is a good thing to have. But he's also sad because he may now never own a Hummer to match his aspirational tattoo, and because his home state's government stole his child's blood for military research. Only in the future!

Our prolific future-reviewer
Baarbarian has been illustrating our fevered future dreams into reality for several months now--creating a closet-full of fine T-shirts in his wake. This week he's taking a well-deserved breather, so we figured it was a good time to take things a few notches up the meta-chain and round up his excellent work thus far into a review-of-the-week-in-review gallery. Enjoy!

This Week in the Future, October 12-16, 2009: Baarbarian It's that time again--our illustrated roundup of the future this week. Robots were in the news quite a bit (meaning it was a
good week): robots made of shapeless goo, robots that eat biomaterials for energy and robots that could have saved soldiers' lives in Iraq.
