News, but not the serious kind
I think they all come from Cooperstown

Blog Guy, can you please settle a bet with my handyman’s numismatist?
Oh please! More random bets between unlikely random professions? What does this coin collector say?
Well, I saw that CNN journalist Anderson Cooper speaking in Orlando on Tuesday evening, but my handyman’s numismatist claims he saw Cooper on the same evening, speaking in Boise. Which one of us is right?
You both are, sort of. There are at least 14 Anderson Cooper robots, with more being added all the time, so there are often multiple sightings in the same day. I believe the real one mostly sits at home and makes model airplanes.
Really? But the one I saw was so life-like!
They all are. Cooper himself shows up for the measurements and pre-production fittings.
To his credit, he doesn’t want anybody to have to see an inferior model of himself again, like the one that caught fire and imploded on a stage in Des Moines last year.
Yikes! What did they do with that one?
They hauled it away with a Cooper Scooper.
Ah, that makes sense. So tell me then, how am I supposed to settle this bet with the numismatist?
I’d just flip a coin.

My grandfather had a glass eye (he lost the original during WWII) and he would take it out to freak out us grandkids, and anyone else who was bothering him.
He had the back half of the fake eye colored jet black and he would sometimes put it in backwards – it was extremely creepy.
Waxing eloquently, eh BG?
Are all the models of Mr. Cooper sculpted to have big biceps?
In the second photo, Anderson Cooper seems to be making googly eyes at Madame Tussaud.
CNN viewers were taken by surprise
Anderson has Marty Feldman eyes!!!
Cyberdyne Systems model AC-360.
Do they measure everything?
Who is Cooper? Whoever is he, he is immortalised. At least for a few years.
Lol, One!!!!

Nosmo, did that make you popular with the kids? I would have bragged about it
Onedoor, if they did, they wouldn’t have problems with the Nude Blacks… Is he a member of that team?
