    Actually, a lot of expensive face recognition systems are no better. If you wrap up your face with enough scotch tape, you can fool most of them too.

    @frigg: And wrapped with enough duck tape you could pass yourself off as a waterfowl.

    @marzer: plus, if you're clever with the tape, you can make a pouch, pass yourself off as a marsupial, and hop onto just about any plane you like.

    Isn't there a superhero who has tape for fingers? Tapefingers? He goes around sticking things together, like pieces of paper, to save the day?


    Tapefingers kicks ass!!! He'd know what to do!!!!

    @bagseed and Scott Andrews: FYI, for those that may be new. Commenting on Jesus' occasional errors presumptively places you in the same class of commenter that says "FIRST" or makes an "In Soviet Russia" or "overlords" joke.

    @LuckyFink: The "soviet russia" and "overlords" quips are slashdottisms, as are most references to Natalie Portman and grits, newsletter subscriptions, Korean old people and email, and any sentence that ends in "insensitive clod".

    Ah yes, but I prefer referencing the Simpsons.

    My nerdism spans many genres and mediums.

    Yeah, not only that, but it must hurt removing the tape.

    Are you trying to say Korean women have hairy fingers? For the life of me I can't out why it would hyrt at all to remove tape from your finger?

    @ekzachtly: If you remove tape from your fingers at just the right speed, you can light your hand on fire. I saw it on Survivorman when he ran out of matches but had all his wrapping supplies from Christmas with him. That's probably what he meant.
