I, candidate: New Hampshire voters will cast their ballots today in the state’s presidential primary, in which Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders are expected to make strong showings.

Republican Marco Rubio, meanwhile, was hoping the infinite nesting loop error that marred his performance in Saturday’s debate didn’t hurt his standing with voters. Asked about the incident, the Floridian said he was “feeling very positronic” about his chances.

Speaking of robots: The tenacity of the cockroach has inspired scientists to create cyborg versions of the bug.

The skittering robots could someday help rescue people trapped inside collapsed buildings — and also clean up piles of crumbs on the kitchen floor behind the stove.

These days, the only girls who scream loudly at Englishmen are the ones who happen to see Keith Richards remove his dentures.
