Bender Bending Rodríguez
He's 30% Iron, 40% titanium, 40% lead, 40% zinc, 40% dolomite, 20% chromium, 40% osmium, 0.04% nickel, 60% storage space, 40% lucky and 100% awesome.
The greatest droid in existence.
Bender realizes he does not need technology anymore so he decides to downgrade his metal robotics with a wooden body.

Two of Seattle's most striking buildings. On the left is the Frank Gehry designed sculptured contours of the Experience Music Project (EMP) that opened in 2000. Whilst on the right, and also reflected in the EMP building, is the Space Needle built for the 1962 World's Fair.
It's small, and I probably won't keep this on flickr for long, since it's not my photo (whose photo it is, I have no idea!) but this is what the old Safeway sign used to look like. I found this on some German website.
Flexo
Bender's good twin.
[A certain LEGO-Futurama expert, whom will remain nameless, pointed out that angry eyes should be on Bender, not Flexo - after consultation of the audio commentaries, I have relented.]

It reminds me of a cross between Ursula Le Guin's " The lathe of heaven " and Futurama the Cartoon;-))
influenced by a great model i saw on flickr and the living brick, i just had to make it too, hope he doesn't mind.
This night view of the largest building ever constructed for a Fair exhibit is keynoted by an enormous slanting canopy 11 feet high over the entrance to the exhibit area. The exhibit projects its visitors into the life of the future as predicted by GM's technicians.

Morbo and Linda.
"Tremble at Morbo's mighty likeability, as I chitchat with my puny human co-anchor Linda. Chitchat achieved!"
Adding to my journey of discovery of Papershoot, notice very good tonality and with a fast lens, good latitude. Thanks to the flickeranians who continue capturing and inspiring through these winter months!
From a backwater pear-fishing port, Dubai has grown into a modern, high rise city in a remarkably short period of time.
Dubai's tangible hallmark is its singular architecture, exemplified here by the spire at the center of this photo. As of the time of this writing (June 2010), it is the tallest building in the world. The tower, with a record-breaking 160 floors, wouldn't be out of place on the cover of a Sci-Fi novel!
But fact is grittier than fiction, as is evident in this write-up in Wikipedia:
"Burj Khalifa (Arabic: برج خليفة "Khalifa Tower") . . . is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and the tallest man-made structure ever built, at . . . 2,717 ft."
"Construction began on 21 September 2004, with the exterior of the structure completed on 1 October 2009. The building officially opened on 4 January 2010, and is part of the new 2 km2 (490-acre) flagship development called Downtown Dubai at the 'First Interchange' along Sheikh Zayed Road, near Dubai's main business district."
"The tower's architecture and engineering were performed by Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill of Chicago, with Adrian Smith as chief architect, and Bill Baker as chief structural engineer."
"In June 2010, Burj Khalifa was awarded the 2010 'Best Tall Building' for the Middle East & Africa by Chicago-based Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat."
"The total cost for the project was about US$1.5 billion; and for the entire 'Downtown Dubai', US$20 billion."
"In March 2009, Mohamed Ali Alabbar, Chairman of the project's developer, Emaar Properties, said office space pricing at Burj Khalifa reached US$4,000 per sq ft . . . and the Armani Residences, also in Burj Khalifa, sold for US$3,500 per sq ft . . ."
"The project's completion coincided with the global financial crisis of 2007–2010, and with vast overbuilding in the country, led to high vacancies and foreclosures."
"With Dubai mired in debt from its huge ambitions, the government was forced to seek multi-billion dollar bailouts from its oil-rich neighbor Abu Dhabi."
"Subsequently, in a surprise move at its opening ceremony, the tower was renamed Burj Khalifa, said to honor the UAE President, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan for his crucial support."
