    I see where this is going. Clearly the editor has forwarded all the contests@gizmondo.com messages to a buddy's e-mail address as a prank.

    Now ask a question no sane person would ask on the internet. "what kind of Bionic Upgrades do you want?"

    Now the unsuspecting recipient gets a quarter million e-mails from countless unknown people. The body of all the messages contain the phrase "A robotic hand with a pocket-p***y!"

    Such a brilliant prank will have the entire office laughing for hours. I love it. #photoshopcontest

    As an attempt to be serious...nothing could actually be better to have at the end of a bionic arm than a hand. Think about all the great things that hands can do. #photoshopcontest

    @nutbastard: Dude!

    First of all, I was stoned off my ass on PCP. Which is why I was naked when I painted it, why I painted it with feces, and why I bludgeoned that orderly.

    Second, it worked out just fine. You know why people go to old folks homes? They go there to die. So some old people stroked out when they saw it. Big hairy deal. After their families were done yelling and suing, they were pretty happy that they didn't have to pay those bills.

    Third, killing old people saves money. Don't like taxes? Kill a senior citizen. The less people on SSI and Medicare, the better.

    So I will keep on doing paintings of that scene in "Mary Poppins" where Dick Van Dyke fists Julie Andrews. Sure, it's vulgar but while everyone is getting pissy about that, they never give me credit for the stuff in the background like Pluto mounting Donald Duck. #photoshopcontest

    Photoshopping isn't really needed because the answer is simple. Electronics run on smoke. Seriously. How many electronic devices have you gotten to work after you let the smoke out?

    @bkavan75: I've dealt with many nurses (I worked in an OR at the time) who have had a $1000+ glass of water, which they proceed to spill on their laptop. I love the ensuing conversation:

    Nurse: (on the phone requesting tech support) I have a laptop that stopped working.

    Me: *sigh* What's "not working" about it?

    Nurse: it won't turn on

    Me: Is it plugged in? Sometimes the last person to use it forgets to plug it in to charge it....

    Nurse: Yep it's plugged in.

    Me: Do you remember when it last worked?

    Nurse: I was using like 10 minutes ago.
    ....
    Me: (on arriving at the location) Hey you guys should call housekeeping, the floor is wet under this laptop cart. By the way, any thing else I should know about? Maybe why there is water dripping from the laptop case.

    Nurse: Oh, yeah, right before I called you to come down here, I accidentally spilled water on the computer.

    Me: Good to know.

    Nurse: Can you fix it?

    Me: no.

    Nurse: Really?

    Me: yep

    Nurse: So now what?

    Me: well, I suppose if you need a laptop, someone is going to have to buy a new one. #photoshopcontest
