A look at this week's top-rated websites from StumbleUpon, recorded on March 11.
This week's selection includes a Japanese robot that looks "uncomfortably realistic," an animated GIF showing how to use treats and a washing basket to catch a baby, Norway's spectacular tourist routes and architecturally inspired viewpoints, a public art installation that asks a community what they want to do before they die, and a photo of a man standing next to a protest sign that reads "It's easy to be pro-choice when you are not the one being killed" while a girl stands next to him with a sign that reads "It's easy being pro-life when you are not the one being pregnant!"
