    the duct tape in the shot is to strap the kid onto the seat because no one in their right mind would sit on it freely

    @Addicted To Chocohol:

    from the looks of it, i'd doubt one's ability to "secretly" place one of these anywhere!

    can you imagine? you're trying to take a dump at mcdonalds, and you hear some fool in the stall next to you, hi-fiving his toilet seat.

    In reply to The Military Wants Virtual Parents For Children of Deployed Soldiers
    Am I the only one who thinks this is a good idea? In its mature form, it's like the question-answer hologram that the murdered inventor in iRobot leaves for Will Smith. A virtual likeness of someone who can respond to basic prompts. It's interesting in general, and given the needs of a young child with a deployed parent, maybe it will help them miss the parent that much less. Worth a try.... I guess.


    Of course, the military's interest isn't only the kid, it's also the soldier. A soldier who is less distracted by the anxiety his/her absence causes to his/her child will be a better soldier.

    I find this heartbreaking on a maternal level and horrifying on a technical level. What if the enemy hacked in and little kids everywhere tell Mommy/Daddy, "I love you" and V-parent says "I hate you" back. No good can come of this.

    Given the burnability of children's skin, letting your child sit with a hot metal laptop on her legs is probably not a good idea.

    @OMG! Ponies!:


    Children actually grow more due to photosynthesis and heat than they do from food and water. Their like plants or something, I though that was common knowledge, you obviously don't have children. :)

    Huggable??


    Sure this robobear is cute an all but just wait until he gets his furry mechanical paws on you and crushes you larynx all the while soothing you into death's waiting embrace with it's soft, melodic sounds.


    And coming soon Pedorobobear...

    Teddi Ruxpin was a creepy litle bastard. Glad he isnt around today to repeat everything I say. (I think he was just a spy for Big Brother.)

    This thing scares me and sends an immense sense of fear and dread down my spine - it did kill my family, after all... If only I had something to hug to calm my nerves... oooh a cute teddy bear.

    Until this bear spots you hugging someone else, gets jealous, and goes on a bloody rampage.
